Hi. That's absolute a great service. I think I've seen a similar one (or exactly this one??) in the past already. Some minor pitfalls that I personally see: - There is AI involved, so you can never actually be sure how…
Thank you for the summary! I'm not the one who asked for the summary. I just don't want to constantly watch video clips for statements worth a few lines of text. And I try to avoid BigTech. So what I'll definitely not…
Social media poisoned society in a tricky way. Like some drug. Until now, people are addicted enough that even at HN, you cannot, have a deep and honest discussion about it. Discuss with chain smokers how healthy…
Yeah, people begin to understand... Nice... I can remember times when, in FOSS forums or audiences like here, it was veeeery unpopular to not praise Facebook, Google, etc. That's good news! You (<- i mean: people) make…
Everyone with a Meta account is either right-wing or a "useful idiot" (that's the common term, right?).
People give away our planet and our souls to Facebook since decades now. Everyone knew someone who was uncomfortable with that and who asked whether a little less Facebook wouldn't be more healthy. These ones got…
Is this basically the real story about Facebook, but fitted into some AI context to make it more exciting? That's at least how it begins. I'll maybe read some more of it in the evening...
I'll tell you a secret: I'm actually using MS Edge only on my corporate machine. Although some months ago they began to roll-out Firefox as well (for whatever reason). I don't care. On that machine, there is NOTHING…
Good news for them.
For the first time in history, the Reddit community is actually useful. And they don't even have to change anything. Just be "the Reddit community". Always with a self confidence three levels higher than the underlying…
Maybe not everyone is happy with these stupid cat and mouse games.
> They have to choose, safe harbor provisioning or responsibility for the content. Since two decades they decide what goes up and what goes down, by means of their algorithms. And basically nobody complained so far…
why shouldn't it be up to Meta what content they remove from their website? It's not even their fault that you misunderstand Facebook as a public space since two decades. It isn't. It never was. It's a commercial…
That's clear. But with using Facebook for public discourse, you flushed all ideas about democratic societies down the toilet. Democratic societies should have their public discourse in public places. Not in commercial…
But we are talking about Meta removing content from their own website, right? In contrast to what people think, Facebook IS NOT public infrastructure. If Meta removes some content from Meta website, and you don't like…
The opposite. Influencers need medication. Desperately. Against their stupid and dangerous sin. It would even help all the others around them.
The next cat and mouse game you are going to lose.
Yes, I like the analogy. Even if you don't agree with "Nazi", it makes the illustration quite obvious: There is a bar that scares you off so much that you wouldn't even go in. So there must be something fundamentally…
Are these cat and mouse games (that you are about to lose atm) maybe an indicator that something is wrong with it? Or should things be like that?
Not because this is also my opinion (I have a lot of opinions that people don't share, and I completely don't care, believe me!), but for deeper reasons, I'd love to understand why this is so unpopular, although it's…
A good idea would be: Make a decision. A trade-off. Either these people are important enough to you, and you don't disfavor the platform soo much. Then visit that platform. Or you dislike the platform so much that you…
Well, there's X.com for that.
There is no reason for xcancel to exist. Either you cancel X. Meaning: NOT consuming X content. Or you just visit X.com. Right? Right?
Heeey, our mobile networks are much less shitty than our railway services! :) Anyways, in such cases, I would try to get more competent hardware, instead of proudly advertize it in my email signature. Also, yeah, she…
Okay, what other catchy term instead of "president" would you suggest?
