Yeah, I hope that no one that answers this gives full detailed plans I just want to know that I am not alone in feeling that we need to change our behaviour and hopefully prompt others to start thinking about what they are going to do. Things are fundamentally different now.
Bots have good reason to do it, because it makes them more relatable.
Humans sometimes can’t help themselves.
I want to say that I appreciate the effort.
Curating this volume of content is impossible, and there are legitimate dangers in giving the government too much ability to shut down free speech
Agreed. We have already given more than enough control to the government in other areas of our lives. We now have alternative social platforms that give us a chance to actually have more direct control over our media landscape which hasn’t been true in such a long time.
you have to build a society that doesn’t want to engage with bigotry, and explore and question its own assumptions (and that’s not ever a fixed state, it’s an ongoing process).
I think this is what they were trying to get across when they mention media ecology. They were pointing out how the structure of where media is shared and its sources can be more important for quashing disinformation than the actual content itself.
So when something is shared through YouTube there are certain pressures that over time mold the source of information into a specific format.
I’d say the same is true of the Fediverse as well. That’s why its important we get the structure here right because it will determine what kind of platform this place turns into.
Edit: grammar
4·27 days agoYeah it is totally valid. Actually just came across someone that was talking about something similar to this.
Edit: The main idea was that we as humans tend to get trapped in something called progress traps where as we advance technology we use that advance to over exploit our environment leading us to more problems down the line.
101·28 days agodbzer0 is anarchist though.
21·1 month agoOk agreed.
consider conservative anarchists
That sounds like an oxymoron. I mean there are anarcho-capitalists but most other anarchists don’t consider them anarchist.
Well maybe I should’ve been more specific. The reason why I mentioned low tech is because it tends to favor localized production and tech that can be easily repaired/modified/created. The pager and walkie talkie attacks came from them not having control over how the tech was produced. If they did have control over that then it would be less likely that this happened and even if it did they would be able to recover quicker.
PS I actually don’t really care about Hezbollah doing this. They suck. It is just in principle it would be better.
I had a feeling that this war would start something like this. Israel has been a testing ground for advanced military technology/ideas for a while. Now that they are engaging in war it was inevitable that techniques or ideas that they have been hiding would eventually get used leading to the world being more dangerous than it was before.
Also as a side note this is why low tech is such a good idea. A small amount of dependencies usually means something is safer in the long run.
1·2 months agosuch that your model could be “riding along on a human surfboard with human guidance”
Sorry I don’t really understand what you’re saying here.
Good point. I have been a lot more active in tailoring my experience here compared to other social media. I wish there was more tools for deciding whether or not you want to block someone though. Sometimes its not as simple as just looking at their post history. Also as an aside I wish it was possible to block votes as well so the ranking of the content was also able to be personalized.
I’m going to be bold enough to say we don’t have as wide of an AI/LLM issue on the Fediverse as the other platforms will have.
Why do you think that? I don’t think that there is anything systemic in how the fediverse operates that will stop LLMs polluting the discourse here too. Actually I already think that they are polluting the discourse here.
That sucks. So much research is being twisted by humanity’s greed. I hope that whatever comes after the internet becomes useless is better.
2·3 months agoMaybe, I’m not sure because I don’t really have much knowledge on self-hosting. I did find this on their website though so you could start here:
Does it have to be online? If not then you can try LibreOffice Impress. Otherwise not sure.
Oh I didn’t see that before. Ok I find the joke funny.
But enjoy your antifa money 🤣🤣🤣
You know you are on an anarchist instance right?
A lot faster than I expected. I mean its good for the fediverse anyways.
