The photographer, Daniel Lane did a series of photos of african kings. https://twistedsifter.com/2012/07/kings-of-africa-portraits-by-daniel-laine/

For those interested some of the highlights of the enduring political system of the Kuba Kingdom:

State Centralization: The Kuba Kingdom was able to establish a more centralized and organized state than many other independent villages or chieftaincies in the region.

**Complex Institutions:**The kingdom had a range of political and social institutions, including an unwritten constitution, separation of political powers, a judicial system with courts and juries, a police force, a military, and a system of taxation.

Cultural Impact: The very fact that the Kuba Kingdom’s institutions have had long-term effects on cultural norms, as indicated by the text, speaks to the power and influence that this kingdom had. This can be seen as positive in the sense that the Kingdom left a lasting legacy. https://www.jstor.org/stable/44955153

FB was only for college kids, now it’s for your grandparents.

Absolutely tick those boxes. And it makes perfect sense.

Ahh the future satisfaction I’ve given myself to me by being able to say 10 years from now “there were no posts! …no one knew what an instance was…” and hopefully it was still be good and that day im acting holier than thou

I think there are multiple illusions into using one community. I don’t think people do. The average user love instagram when it was for sharing photos, facebook before it was for grandparents, vine (now tik tok) when it was for funny clips, youtube for silly content, reddit for thread format speaking, snapchat for stupid private chats. If we are talking about centralized communication I’m not so sure that is the case either. The reason all of those platforms I just mentioned got ruined for the most part is being of the growth of influencing and monetization. Once capitalism came in it completely changed the original intent of why the user liked those platforms, I doubt most of them even remember why they liked it when they joined it changed so fast. What people want, without actually realizing it, are the same services without the garbage product they’ve excepted and its turned into.
