Zum Wochenende: Da ist doch keiner!

Die Prinzipien der modernen Gesellschaft sind nicht ambitioniert und folgen dem Weg des geringsten Widerstands. Um das zu ändern, ist viel mehr Mut und Eigenständigkeit nötig.

Safer Scrolling: How algorithms popularise and gamify online hate and misogyny for young people. Study of University College London and University of Kent.

"After only 5 days of TikTok usage, our research shows a fourfold increase in the level of misogynistic content. (...) We found that the algorithm privileges more extreme material, and through increased usage, users are gradually exposed to more misogynistic ideologies."

Anyone know if n8n is good as a self-hosted replacement for IFTTT and if it supports mastodon or bluesky?

I've been reading into it since it is self hostable, but some of the AI crap tied to the youtube videos showing it off are turning me off the service. I really don't need that stuff, I just want the ability to link up distinct events from one site to another for my own management using workflows #selfhosted #social_media #mastodon #meta

A special Hello to the person who posted 36 pictures at once to their WhatsApp status. 👏 🙄

#social_media #WhatsApp #sarcasm

Who else here misses traditional #forums such as #phpBB based ones and such? I certainly do. I feel like the environment of forums is more conducive to in-depth and nuanced discussion and builds stronger communities. Coincidentally, I also wrote an old PDF article about this same thing a while back.

Social media formats seem to have too much churn by contrast. I like that old discussions can be revived years later on traditional forums and can still have life even years later. That's kind of like the opposite of the drive to always "stay relevant" and "keep posting" that characterizes #social_media in contrast.

Forums also tend to be more #decentralized, or at least they would be if there were more active ones again like there used to be years ago. There are still a bunch of good ones though.

I actually joined a new one today in fact, a writing forum. Hopefully that'll be fun and will connect me to a steadier sense of community.

People on social media platforms barely reply compared to the rate at which people reply on forums, in terms of the ratio of the number of replies each post you make gets compared to the total number of current active users.
