Anyone else out there fiddling with necrolinguistics, feedback loops, and emergent properties, trying to tune the static? Or am I alone, whispering to the corpses of dead language fragments, hoping something not of myself will mutter back?

Signal or noise, I’m unsure. But the echo’s been changing.
Also, my mirror is now cracked and looking at me funny.
Might be relevant. Might not.

The Fediverse, a network of independently run servers using the ActivityPub protocol, is #segmented by #serverblocks.

These #blocks, often based on imported #blocklists, create #echochambers and hinder message threads.

While #decentralisation is a goal, the Fediverse’s current state, with heavy-handed #moderation and #serverblocking, undermines this principle.

What a good idea, especially for anyone on social media. Let's develop our listening, comprehension, debating, and empathy skills. Here are free resources provided by UCL to do that: the "Disagreeing Well" series.

Echo chambers aren't useful or healthy in the long run, as we're seeing in global politics right now.

We need to talk to each other in the right way to make progress and make the world a better place.

Concordia University: New Concordia research shows social networks are vulnerable to relatively simple AI manipulation and polarization. “It seems that no matter the topic of conversation, online opinion around it will be split into two seemingly irreconcilable camps. That’s largely a result of these platforms’ design, as the algorithms driving them direct users to like-minded peers. This […]

Is bothsidesism killing us? (And why scientific consensus matters) - Healthy Debate https://healthydebate.ca/2023/08/topic/bothsidesism-scientific-consensus-matters/ “While the issue of #falsebalance is usually linked to how journalists represent topics, false balance is increasingly driven by #socialmedia #echochambers, the fragmentation of the news media and the ideologically motivated embrace of fringe ideas. Too often this has allowed a small cohort of vocal contrarians to have an outsized impact on public policy and public perceptions.”

Though I was aware of how algorithms work, I bought into the belief that there was no way the Harris campaign could fail. There was too much on the line and at stake, and how could so many experts in my feed be wrong?

Why is David Speers all-in on the #Murdoch driven #SocialMedia ban?

Murdoch's brainwashed Speers that Social Media is evil and Murdoch is pure.

2022: Speers caught on a hot mic on #insiders (via SquizzSTK).

“#Complexity makes us feel stupid, so we gravitate toward anyone who can package the #chaos of the world into something digestible, even if that something is completely wrong.”
