 Yeah, that's how I use it. For announcements.
Or GM rounds with my frens, as if it were SimpleX.

 That's basically the direction it'll be headed. More like IRL, where people will onboard and meetup in the OtherStuff, follow people they like that they meet there, and then use SM to say GM to them all or inform their frens that their dog got fleas, or something.

The bizarre/influencery "I'm just going to jump into the flow of 5 million random people, post some rage porn or seek engagement, and get some likes" thing is what is going to go away.

 I don't know about it going away, but at least the individual will be able to avoid it if they so choose... so it'll seem like it's gone 😅

 It's just the overt creation of bubbles. Like, you can just find your tribe, go off into the corner and talk amongst yourselves.
But now, you get to decorate your corner.
