Corporate media is going to protect their advertisers by shotgunning bullshit articles trying to change the narrative

U bend of the toilet we don’t use. Can fish it out with a magnet if I need to reclaim it later

AI is definitely already here. AI will be scraping anything public facing it can reach

Reddit went ban happy and nuked my 13 year old account over attempting to appeal a mod power tripping over an innocent comment they didn’t like.

Which was after the api think killed RiF

Why don’t they just fix their game instead?

No, Twitter changed its algorithms leading up to the election. That was not self selection. They were actively pushing right wing bullshit down everyone’s throats because the owner spent $200 million trying to get the dipshit elected.

Which is no different from any of the US social media companies tweaking their algorithms against criticism of all number of political things.

Twitter blatantly forced right wing radical propaganda down their entire user bases through a for months. Facebook was selling user data to foreign influence groups to assist with political message targeting. They’re all the same.

So once again, Republicans lied

That’s what the assassin used. They substituted the one term.

Only by the rich people who are actually stealing from us. PPP loan forgiveness for their litany of fraudulent claims…

Except all the social media are doing the exact same thing. This is pointless political posturing

This was about bluesky/Twitter type social media. Things with reshare and follows to specific users, where someone you follow arguing with someone you don’t will expose you to the person you don’t follow.

Digital data is just 1s and 0s.

On and off. If you turn that laser on and off you’re transmitting binary information. The receiver can interpret that. We already do that with fiber optic cable, basically. This is just removing the wire.

Maybe try learning how things work before bitching about things that cannot happen the way you mistakenly think they do.

Those still aren’t bots. Bot farms are literally a bunch of servers running computer programs. That’s not the same thing as some online sweatshop pushing disinformation manually.

It decreases the spread. Cutting form the engagement means free people who aren’t already subscribed to that content will see it, since there’s fewer people arguing with it. Which means those who are susceptible to falling for it have less chance to even encounter it, meaning fewer fall into it.

Even if the incentive to create the trolls has changed, the counter to letting it spread hasn’t.

What part of: “it’s the governors who need to do that, not the President” don’t you understand?
