It's wild how social media outside of the fediverse has deteriorated. You have followers, but if your post doesn't please some opaque algorithm, they'll never see what you post. You have to avoid certain words to please the algorithm. If you refresh the page good luck finding the same posts again. And people put up with it.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •> Zuckerberg has a First Amendment right to make decisions about what to promote on his platforms.
I feel (as an european) that's such a weird take?! Why should Zuckerberg be able to decide what's being shared, on what is basically a major public townsquare, only because he owns it?

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •I don't get it. I started getting fed up with #Facebook when it started changing its settings and layout on a seemingly weekly basis -about 12 years ago. And the various malicious functions of its algorithm have been well-known since at least that time.
Again, I don't get it.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •that's actually going to suit some people, but I suspect not most. When I look at Threads, I'm overwhelmed by the banality of it all.
What's missing is serious conversations about serious subjects, like politics.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •One of the most absurd things to me is the power given to the algorithm over our language. The way it is changing, shaping and erasing words from our collective vocabulary.
I'm curious to know if there's ever been quite this level of interference in language before.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •Ive seen a lot of Threads account pushing for Bluesky and that is also a shit show "integration". It's safely to say that the #Fediverse is the best place to be so far.

Crazy…

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •Well, as Willie Sutton famously said when asked why he robbed banks, "That's where the money is."
Twitter, Instagram, etc., have really become influencer platforms. Facebook, too, though to a slightly lesser degree. Jack Dorsey's new Blue Sky (or whatever he's calling it) could become that as well.
The face of what social media is has changed since the '00s; for the time being, I'd rather be here on Mastodon.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •Its nuts. It’s not social media, it’s big media exploiting. It’s toxic.
I love Mastodon. Thank you and all those everywhere that made it happen.
Thanks to my excellent host @christianp for Mathstodon.
Thanks everyone who is here.
Everyone Is Awesome!

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •The Post pulls an interesting trick to distort poll results. It takes a poll which says "20 percent of U.S. adults now regularly get news on the [Instagram] social network" and recasts it as "One in five American adults regularly get their news from Instagram."
Adding the word "their" suggests IG is the primary or exclusive news source for 1 in 5. The poll only says that people "get news" from it.
Poll distortion is a favorite journalistic game.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •meanwhile on Mastodon I hear that ...
"The moderator of @mastodon.social is hiding and limiting people's accounts for opposing the #genocide in #gaza done by #us and israel.
What kind of bad, ignorant person do you have to be to call it a holocaust inversion?"
