Thought: if 2010s blogsphere is intact and not replaced by social media, we will be looking at Google Reader and Mozilla Thunderbird to deny RSS access to misinformation. Would either entity do a better job than Twitter/Facebook?

There might be less of a problem when the content people see is what they choose to see rather than what engagement-driven algorithms chose.

Great point! Though it is hard to know if algorithms would be something deeply embedded in the RSS readers as well, in the 2020s in the alternative universe.
