"I was on TikTok for 30 days: it is manipulative, addictive, and harmful to privacy"
"TikTok is not a suitable place for content that is purely informative or educational, that follows a normal learning pace, that lasts more than 1 minute, that has an introduction, a development, and a thoughtful conclusion, that does not use filters, music or ‘pyrotechnic’ effects, that does not try to be catchy or oversimplify things, that does not focus on dazzling in the first 3 seconds.
There is no time for deeper reflections, critical thinking or autonomy to process if what was seen makes sense or not.
Everything is so fast that viewers just have the content pushed down their throats. Users are passive and paralyzed, waiting to be amazed."

Trolling has been around since mIrc but nowadays the younger generations are just a bunch of assholes who enjoy cyber-bullying.

Facebook blocked all q anon accounts from their networks.
But my thoughts and prayers are with the people at Twitter that are basically fighting a war now to moderate the network after that idiot is tweeting non stop...

"I have no hopes for the younger generation, if these are the men of tomorrow."
- Aristoteles, ca. 300 b.c.Don't blame everything on social media, people are just dumb and weak. FB & Twitter went from a breeze of freedom in the arabic world, occupy-movement, umbrella protests to Trump, Duterte, Bolsonaro.. Even Erdogan, whilst blocking social media in turkey, uses is to create hype around him.
I quit most services that Datamine me because I think they are way more dangerous for us and our society than they look like. I would like to use it actually but not in exchange for growing a platform where extremists get tools for suggestive advertising.

"You happen upon your old desktop computer while packing up your childhood bedroom and get sucked into a digital landscape full of forgotten websites and Internet clutter. The space is familiar but doesn't function quite like it used to.
Wrong Box is a reimagined version of what it felt like to surf the web as a teenager and what it feels like to attempt to access those spaces now. How has the experience of going online changed in the past 10-15 years? What gets preserved and what gets forgotten?
Wrong Box was created by Molly Soda and Aquma.
Music by Felix Walworth."

Instagram added notifications for Threads, probabluu for all EU users to boost user base
Went to visit it - without making a profile - yes you can do that in the EU and it will not delete your instagram profile - and behold, the amount of crap...
just click on "use without a profile"
The content is mostly sports, memes, some tech geeks with takes on AI, regular folk posting food and "what I am doing right now" posts, regular marketing gurus and content sluts/influencers posting and repoosting all their tweets and instagram posts once again...
Basically useless.
I wonder why is Meta moving users from Instagram's stories format to this crappy text format
Oh well, 3/10 won't recommend
- but isn't Threads as customizable as Instagram? Can't you just block the nonsense and follow your interests?CyBrainX
