"Authoritarian forces around the world are reshaping digital technologies into tools of control. Imara Jones dives into the growing threat of digital authoritarianism in the United States with writer & scholar Katherine Alejandra Cross. Katherine unpacks why social media has become such a radicalizing force in the wake of the SARScov2 pandemic and development of individualizing algorithms. She & Imara also dig into the techno-authoritarian beliefs behind the "California ideology,” the way that Web 2.0 undermines collective action, and why Elon Musk’s power grab is a sign of desperation within Silicon Valley elite."—TransLash Podcast

Heftig verhaal. Zoon, 13 jaar, geronseld via #snapchat voor een aanslag. Gelukkig mislukt. Pa wil met het verhaal andere ouders waarschuwen.

Zo fijn he, #socialmedia #asocialmedia

De 13-jarige zoon van Kees was betrokken bij een explosie, in ruil voor 1.500 euro - https://nos.nl/r/612105

Waarom noemen we platforms zoals X, Facebook en TikTok eigenlijk social media? Ze lijken steeds meer op asociale media.

❌ Algoritmes die verdeeldheid en haat versterken.
❌ Clickbait en desinformatie boven échte connectie.
❌ Verslaving aan eindeloze doomscrolling.
❌ Onze data als product, privacy als bijzaak.

Is het nog wel sociaal als het ons vooral uit elkaar drijft? 🤔

Wat denk jij? Moeten we deze platforms anders noemen?#AsocialMedia

Today in “Samuel Pepys’ Diary Reimagined”:

“A society in which […] people can be completely manipulated by technology? Well, well — thank you, I’ll pass.”

Hallo Bundesregierung,
Erzählt mir mehr davon, warum X für euch ein unverzichtbares Kommunikationsmedium ist!

@Daojoan so his platform cannot be called social anymore. #AsocialMedia would be more apt

#mastodon is #broken by design.
When I open a post on a different server, I get only a fraction of replies, retoots and favourites displayed. As a rule, most posts look to me like nobody is reacting, like there is a boring silence. When in reality there might be a real discussion going on.
E.g. this toot by @404mediaco got 667 replies, >900 retoots and ~450 favourites, while when I look it up through my profile, I see only 13 replies, ~60 retoots and 0(!) favourites.
It's #asocialmedia

2000: Der Duden nimmt das Wort “Netiquette” auf.

2009: Der Like-Button wird eingeführt.

2016: Die Reaction aka Deppensmiley wird eingeführt.

2023: Die Blockfunktion wird abgeschafft

What is social
Media now?

A waste of time.
A unavoidable network.

Are we sending out too much banal information in this overgrazed digital sphere of so called social media? Time is precious. Listening a gift. #asocialmedia #newcommons #timeislife

I have a business plan for #asocialmedia, where there are no options to follow, be followed, like, block, mute, or re-blog. It’s just you howling noiselessly into the wind.

@thefaxe als nicht-Twitter-Opfer (seit Jahren nicht mehr da eingeloggt) habe ich mir das auch schon gedacht… vielleicht könnte er als nächstes Facebook kaufen, dann ist das #asocialmedia Problem demnächst vorüber 😜

I have a business plan for #asocialmedia, where there are no options to follow, be followed, like, block, mute, or re-blog. It’s just you and your posts (let’s call them “twats”). Anyone want to get in on the ground floor?
