How to run a small social network

Disagree with that statement. Social media started it's decline when they became platforms. That's the thing ruining it. Facebook was fun-ish when it was just friends posting party pics and became bad when it started to become a one directional platform for non personal accounts.

So social networks are great except for all the damn people on it?

The people who joined before you are the cool people, those who joined after you are the ones ruining everything.

How did you get that from my comment?

I said all the non-personal accounts. Accounts using it as a platform. Celebrity brands, business accounts, influencer, anything that's one directional. Maybe technically they are "people" but they're using it in a one directional way

Ah yes I see what you're saying now.

What I meant by "platform" is that it's a meeting place for many people and it only has value because there's a lot of people already there.
