#SocialMedia
I wish more people would leave corporate owned social media and join Mastodon/the fediverse.
#Socialmedia be like let's use eye dialect because it's the social convention lest not being outrageous enough in having something to prove makes us seem like enemy sympathizers. For example, let's say "Ze Cram-it-in-lin fightZ becauZe it likeZ to cram its 💩 into innocent women" or some absurdity like that. People are so stupid that if you just say "the #Kremlin fights because it likes to," people will be like:
"You're taking the side of the Kremlin."/gen #smh
Is #Web2.0 on its way out? (One can only hope) The trend is towards increased proprietization. Are there enough unenlightened millennials to keep Corporate Net going? #internet #corporate #socialmedia #reddit
Anticipating that we'll need a safe place to go after Reddit - I created a Kbin for science fiction - all hail:

Evidently Elon Musk is neither able to realize he made mistakes nor to ever learn from mistakes he made.
Without any regard for responsibility & humans involved & affected, he's turning the roulette of his personal whims in his $44 billion egomania casino. Rien ne va plus!

'Overreliance on existing worldviews as a yardstick for truth can lead to confirmation bias... Alternately, when users struggle to accept a claim as truthful or untruthful, they enter what researchers term the dialectic stage where they attempt to determine its veracity. Social media leverages cognitive dissonance and hijacks the dialectic phase, complicating users’ evaluation of a claim.'

Hey #writingcommunity, #writers and other creative types... I'm in the process of rewriting my book on building online platforms safely, incorporating some of the new tricks (and issues) that have cropped up over the last 5 years. But I would love to hear from you about some of the things that you wish you knew but had to find out the hard way.

So one of the things that pisses me off about #socialmedia is the lack of #attribution. Do you know how many times I see #Instagram posts which are screenshots of tweets or tweets which are videos from #TikTok. The developers have the ability to make it so their software automatically searches and finds the source. Look at #YouTube for an example, but they won't. It's the same with #memes, you see people reposting memes when it should link to the original.

This is where it all began, if you’re interested in the history of the #fediverse and #socialmedia. The Well was the very first ‘virtual community,’ in fact, a Well member coined the term. You may have heard about it, or if you’re as old as I am, even been around when it began. What you might not know is that its users bought it in 2012, and it still exists in all its historic glory - even more relevant today. While modern social networks burn, The WELL endures https://www.well.com/
Nothing to see here. Everything is perfectly fine while the other very stable genius who definitely knows how to run a social network continues to be a disaster.
What an absolutely shitshow. #socialmedia

Nach Übernahme durch Elon Musk: Twitter weniger als 15 Milliarden US-Dollar wert

I've seen a couple of posts on my TL about #SocialMedia arguments or family members/friends with #RightWing views.
The thing is: You can engage with these people, debate them, or you can exist as proof of something, but you are just one minuscule voice in a sea of billionaire-owned #media.
That is #news outlets but also #PR companies that push right wing agenda.
It's like arguing with climate-deniers: There's an industry at work pushing that shit and you are a cottage industry fighting back.
Evidently, there is a security flaw in Mastodon (see screenshot). It's not prudent to trust unknown admins with our #data.
Therefore, how do we make the #Fediverse admins more accountable? Or, should the fediverse be developed to be more user-friendly - so that we can connect directly to the network without having to depend on servers? (that is do-able. e.g., p2p networks)

Ego is probably the main answer to that question. A lot of journalists have built up very large followings on Twitter… It’s time to start trying, though: we can’t keep hand-wringing about #Twitter turning into a cocktail party for Nazis while stubbornly refusing to leave the room.”

It seems to me that the people who are left on #Reddit and #Twitter are the most aggressive and rude users. There's a kind of civility-drain going on, as #edgelords fill the content vacuum left by mindful people who are finally getting driven away by the unmoderated pit. The old #socialMedia giants are the new #4chan. We didn't kill #kiwifarms, we just ceded territory to them.

👆 Ich komme auf diesen Rückschluss weil für uns pro. Anwender:Innen das nutzen von anderen spezieller #ActivityPup als normal vorkommt.
In der breiten alg. Masse wird dies anders gesehen oder nicht verstanden. Deswegen benötigt dies meiner #Meinung nach simpleren Einstieg. Gelernt was das alles ist wird mit der Zeit 😉
Abgesehen davon, es gibt sicherlich cooleres für einige als dieses #Mastodon #SocialMedia und es ist oool zu sehen was es da noch wie zu nutzen mit welchen Funktionen gibt! 😊
Ich bin der #Meinung, dass für das Vorstellen von #ActivityPub der Fokus auf #Mastodon sein soll! 🤓
Wenn wir den Menschen zeigen wollen, dass #SocialMedia auch "faktiv" sein kann und dich zB auf #Infos & #News etc. konzentrieren kann. Da soll da schon was konkretes vorgeführt werden.
Die Menschen müssen noch auf den #decentral Umgang "geschuhlt" werden und da ist für eine #Motivierung mit simplen Vortrag das effektiefste 🤷♂️

From the milk crate challenge to the Tide pod challenge, social media challenges have grown ever more dangerous, leading to serious injuries and occasionally deaths.
Here’s some tips from clinical psychologists, including what you can do to protect kids from these trends:
#socialmedia #parenting
https://theconversation.com/teenage-brains-are-drawn-to-popular-social-media-challenges-heres-how-parents-can-get-their-kids-to-think-twice-204686
After reviewing hundreds (?) of possible open #community roles, I can tell you with a great degree of confidence that they're not asking for community help at all. These roles seem to be conflated with both #marketing as well as (to a larger degree) #socialmedia.
Three. Different. Disciplines.
I give up.
"Bowing to the whims of bigots and fascists never satisfies them; given an inch, they will take not just miles but light years."
@andreagrimes on if in the ever expanding #socialmedia landscape there can ever be an actual safe space where trolls and bigots aren't capitulated to by the company founders.

Almost forgot that I've got a BlueSky account. In case you're there as well, my account is metinseven.bluesky.social
Don't know if I'll use it a lot though, as there's no desktop / Web client yet, and I love Mastodon. ❤️
All the #tech parents I know, and I’m one of them, run a very strict control regime on their own kids around #socialmedia and #screentime.
How are the parents who don’t understand how addictive tech runs circles around the #developing #brain of their kids supposed to be up to the task?
Conservative forces like to say it’s up to the parents, but isn’t that more like saying ”survival of the fittest”? I understand it’ll give the kids of already rich a leg up, so maybe it all makes sense.

I think I am just about done with #Mastodon. It was a (not) fun little experiment. I don't know why I thought that it would be safer for #Muslims, but the #fediverse has turned out to be exactly the same as every other corner of the Internet. #SocialMedia is like the USA. No #SafeSpace for Muslims, and if we complain, then we're part of the problem. #Allyships also run only one way here. Folks cry for us to support them, but refuse to support us in return. #MastodonSoWhite #MastodonSoBigoted
US Surgeon General: ”There is no evidence that social media is safe for kids”

Personally, I would remove ”like” button mechanics and follow counters from users under 16. And mandate strong age verification. By law.
Yeah, sorry, but parents just aren’t up to the task of changing how addictive software design and chilhood development interact!

IMO, the Surgeon General's scaremongering over kids and social media is part of an anti-encryption push by world authorities.
If the powers that be convince the public that social media harms kids, they can establish a system where internet users must identify themselves under the guise of proving they're not children.
