"Is it possible to be nostalgic for the earlier version of a social-media interface?"

"No matter how often we use these platforms or how much we rely on them, we have no control over when they will change and what will be different. This conundrum makes me think of Walter Benjamin’s essay 'Unpacking My Library,' from 1931, in which he recounts removing his books from storage boxes and rearranging them on shelves. As he goes through the very physical process, he recalls where the books came from and what they symbolize to him, knowledge either obtained or aspired to. 'Ownership is the most intimate relationship that one can have to objects,' Benjamin wrote. 'Not that they come alive in him; it is he who lives in them.' In other words, we find our identities in the artifacts of the culture that we keep around us. But, when interfaces keep changing according to the profit incentives of vast technology corporations, it’s hard to feel that the things we publish and collect in our digital spaces really belong to us."
