Did everyone in tech run out of new ideas in 2013 or something? There’s something so depressing about the hot new app of 2024 being a Twitter clone.

Facebook is MySpace, Tumblr is live journal, reddit are forums and Discord is Skype.
It's all been done. Why create the new when you could recreate the old?
But yes; I to crave something new.
Can you think of anything new?
The "ideal" of Mastodon was the first thing I regarded as new. This idea to properly own your communities and conversations and move them around and connect/remove others as you would an email address was novel.
In reality, it's nowhere near that ideal. But I still want to see if anyone over the years could make it work.

Much less realistically (somehow), I'm still waiting for that moment where we run a full on AAA game in the native browser. I think the tech is now at the point where it exists and is possible. Just not the incentives. But IDK if that's the "new" you were talking about.
