Great news — social media is falling apart
@countZZero @th3j35t3r "By democratizing social media, users can turn those negative health effects around by taking more control over who they're associated with, what they look at in their feeds, and how algorithms are influencing their social experience."
Sounds great in theory but in practice I doubt it. Musk is already force-feeding content to users that didn't subscribe to that content. Bad ethics and immorality by social media owners and managers will trump good intentions every time.
@countZZero @th3j35t3r I wasn't trying to connect this with my faith but there it is. The problem comes from within. We are the problem. So the solution must come from something or someone beyond us. People like Musk are probably betting on AI to solve this problem but AI has proven it cannot be trusted. It's only as good as the data it is trained on: our data.
As for me and my house, We will serve the Lord. That's my hope for overcoming what lies within and teaching me how to live with others.
@danielbsmith @countZZero @th3j35t3r also is it a good thing if conspiracy-minded disinformed bigots can shut out all voices of reason and factual reality? is that better for their mental health?
@countZZero @th3j35t3r Counter.Social functions as a walled-off garden without an algorithm thanks to its design by J which can be derived directly by his sense of morality. As long as there are players in social media (Musk, Zuckerberg, Putin, etc.) whose morality allows them to manipulate others, it will never be safe for regular users. Connecting everything to one big network will result in the same disaster. It's inevitable and the problem stems from our human nature.
