Facebook but before it turned to shit - 2008-2010 ish

None really. I only use them as a way to stay in contact with people who I won't see regularly. That aspect is nice as all lives change and diverge but the whole corpo crap makes it meh.

Myspace.
That era in social media was so much fun! No expectations and feature rich. +1 for Tom

A requirement to establish intellectual capability and that would determine user privileges.

It would be a magical thing, it would be p2p and use relays so thin clients can connect to it, it would be 100% anonymous via onion routing and also allowing tor, but at the same time, somehow, it would handle spam (maybe by generating some cryptographic token somehow?).
It would also support storing and distributing files inside the app which includes HTML pages in a p2p IPFS fashion, so it could be used as an alternative to torrent. So like, besides communities you could host HTML pages, and those pages could contain links to films, and series and stuff.
And maybe several models of communities, so you could create a reddit/lemmy style community, or an youtube/peertube style community which would host videos.
Also DM part of the app would have very strong e2ee support groups and calls.
So I guess it would be an everything app.
And ofc it would be free both as in price and freedom.
Now I realise that the codebase would be almost impossible to maintain and such a complex program would probably have too many bugs including security bugs which would defeat the purpose. But it's an entertaining thought.

100% anonymous and handle spam? Good luck. You'd probably be a multi-millionaire if you figured that one out.

Original instagram was a lot of fun. They ruined it of course.

Yeah, I'm know it's unrealistic, but a man can dream.

OG twitter was it. Minimal characters so people could drone on. Subscribe to people so you get a well tailored feed. SMS based so you don’t even need data. Every evolution has made it worse.
