Wtf is this and who upvotes this?

Okay, so it’s as narrow but it’s better because it fills out entire field of vision. Not sure how that relates to narrowness of the worldviews.

In normal human interactions you don’t need to measure validation either.

OP is complaining that he’s not the winner of the algorithm. I say fuck algorithms, let’s browse things chronologically. Makes you notice that guys like Randahl Fink produce repetitive and boring drumbeat content for those politically polarised.

I’m a data analyst because I like to stick to the facts so I’m not interested in anecdotes from self selected population because bias is off the charts here.

The war is between US/Israel with their proxies and Iran with their proxies. Europe is not a party to it but is being held hostage so not inviting Iran isn’t exactly shocking although it might be rather unproductive without them. I don’t think Europe has any tools to deal with the situation either way.

I’m not sure if Russia is in control of Trump - they benefit way more than they lose out on with him but the man is rather unpredictable. It’s more like Trump aspires to be as cool as he perceives Putin to be cool and therefore relies on him for external validation (which still happens only in Trump’s head). It’s scary to think what a competent autocrat could achieve with similar power.

Can you prove that this post was „hidden” and not just ignored by algorithm that boosts content that will ensure longer engagement? Yes, algorithmic timelines are cancer, no need to invent conspiracy theories.

Isn’t horizontal video exactly as narrow, just on different axis?

If something is public domain then it’s incompatible with copyleft licenses, like GPL under which Linux is licensed.

Linux team is trolling AI boosters who can’t certify their code is clean unless they trained models themselves.

I’d rather not have those people on social networks either. Post news if you think they’re worth checking out but don’t make it your mission. We don’t really need more spaces where we get to be sold stuff to, political agendaposting included.

Let’s measure that by taking a look at a number of meaningful responses and discussions this has generated then? Likes and boosts don’t even mean that the person doing it read those posts.

When I talk to other people normally I don’t really consider if what I’m doing is going to make them like, save or subscribe to my posts, therefore I don’t need to measure it. More social person might but that’s still an unhealthy amount of reliance on external validation.

Have you considered that it’s not censorship and just that regular people are not interested in it, and that there are vastly different people on different platforms.

I don’t think social media should be used for people doing their jobs, that’s what RSS is for. I’m on social media to talk to people, not to be sold things.

Isn’t adjusting weights of what’s being shown effectively the same as boosting?

You see this as Meta boosting wrong things. I see this as a problem with algorithmic timelines and boosting things in general. If someone is interested in a particular subject they should seek out sources of information on that topic and follow them, but by then you don’t care that wrong things are boosted, or that people like, dislike or are disinterested too much.

The flaw is that this content is getting less engagement on Twitter. Chasing engagement is how we got into horrible state of social media we are in now. If something is worth doing then it’ll be worth doing regardless of amount of likes you get.

Not only copyright is dead but so is licensing of things in general. This means there’ll be less original work from both commercial and non-commercial projects. Commercially there won’t be ways to profit so why bother. On the libre licensing front why would you contribute code to GPL licensed projects or release art under Creative Commons if it’s going to be license washed anyway?

This guy is a political influencer, of course he will measure Mastodon’s worth based on engagement metrics.
