the examples of forums monetization, whales, mangosteen etc.. are hilarious when presented as some comparison to the cancer that is modern social media. I use social media too, facebook and twitter were a pool that trump directly diherreahed in and everybody kept on swimming. the depravity is more than I can bear.

Yeah the ‘you criticise social media but the forums are the same thing’ is bullshit and everyone knows it. Just because they both involve posting does not make them the same thing. There’s no algorithm here, you’re not pushed misinformation or hate, you aren’t advertised at constantly and the experience isn’t literally designed to be as addictive as possible. I stopped using any SM but Insta for my business (and then only to post stuff like every two weeks) and my life has improved immeasurably, I’d recommend it.

I do want to point out this doesn't stop a lot of people over the years from "Just posting through it" with their mental health and needing to defeat posting enemies in ways that are absolutely insane. See: recently the person who bought themselves transphobic AV's to defeat their posting enemies. Not to say this is really much of SA's problem to monitor like a social media site. Handling your issues is your responsibility and all.

I think it’s possible that the big social media sites that make money from addicted users actually have an incentive to cause and exacerbate mental illness, rather than merely incidentally reveal it.

Abongination posted:If there was a community note on this, its gone now. Or maybe the site is breaking in new and exciting ways. To be honest as funny as this is it seems kinda ridiculous that paid ads are allowed to have community notes that straight up say "this is available from China for 1/10th of the price". It seems massively counter productive given how desperate Musk is for revenue, and he could simply stop notes getting published on ads - like this one is now - without anyone being able to definitively prove that it's being suppressed. I guess that involves some coding though.

Earwicker posted:you do realize internet forums are just a very slightly older version of social media right? like if you think social media "is bad and always has been" why do you have an account here and socialize virtually with other goons Forums aren't real life tho, the meshing of the real and Internet worlds is what makes social media so terrible

just because the taxman wanted to make money off site engagement or whatever doesn't mean he was ever going to be capable of it to any meaningful extent. he might have started to read some psychology study on dark patterns before quitting halfway through the abstract to order more goldbelly. facebook has a fleet of junior and senior product managers who have all read the entire thing and they are in a position to implement the ideas effectively and have the resources at their behest to try comparing SA or any "popular forum" (lol 2023) position to an actual social media company just makes you sound naive

Mastadon was thriving before Musk and is still thriving for it's intended users. People just assumed it would replace twitter despite not having the feed algos

Looks a lot like a community theatre back set piece. Done just well enough to look fine under lights, at a distance. On some kinda lovely ply that may have been another flat in the past. Also, because I’m on New Zealand time, I keep missing the bsky codes and I’d still like one if some nice person wants to drop me a pm. I’d be super grateful and say nice things about and to you and send you a picture of my cat’s silly little pink nose Shithouse Dave fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Aug 29, 2023 |

Elon truly is miserable. He genuinely thinks he’s a genius and that we (the crowd of people who hate him and aren’t using Twitter anymore) are preventing him from saving humanity by achieving the galactic federation. And we get to watch him keep tripping over his own shoelaces time and time again, just trying to improve a social media app that was already popular when he bought it.

This one somehow gets sadder with fuller context. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1696397893228265907 No matter if he's doing that weird thing where he tries to boost brands in order to make them feel better about his hellsite or just letting out a vapid thought, he's still absolutely poo poo at posting.

Thank you heaps much to poisonpill, who is probably actually a sweet candy in a shady lookin bottle, and a kind person. I’ll pay it forward with invites in a week, or whenever I get one. On ketchup, heinz is the fuckin McDonald’s spec of sauces. There are many better tomato ketchup variations, but if you haven’t tried mushroom ketchup, get you some. I have to sleep now, but if the discussion hasn’t moved too far when I get up, I’ll dig out my recipe for anyone interested in making their own

He is so low impact it's the funny end of pathetic. Any one of his tweets distanced from his name would fade into the ether without a trace, but he is so sure that he's firing off zingers in every one.
