All social networks start out not sucking...

    Not sure. Facebook started as a HotOrNot clone apparently, and MySpace was a flaming web design disaster for its first years before it became a nice website for niche music, but then died entirely.

      Facebook was (and is) predatory but that is not what is meant by "suck". When Facebook came out, it satisfied a huge demand, and was exactly what people wanted, regardless of how you feel about it ethically.

      Web design disaster by what standards?

If a social media platform doesn't offer a web client, it sucks. I'm sorry.

Also, by what metric does it not suck? Ads? Privacy? Algorithmic feed? Bots? Addictiveness?

    I read the thread on metafilter, apparently its sponsored by the John Muir whatever and is for people who enjoy sketching nature and sharing their sketches, I think.

Lots of trackers? Firefox Focus mobile blocks so much that the layout is ruined
