@ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz @realcaseyrollins @Hope_report It gets worse when they start listing disabilities, sexual orientation, race, etc. Like we need to know every part of your identity. Just list male or female and leave it at that.

@coolboymew @graf Remember when everyone hated HufflePuffPost because they never paid any of their writers and then sold out to AOL? ... holy shit, they're owned by Buzzfeed now? Why do people still read this shit?

one thing i like about fedi is that it’s more like the “old internet” in that you actively have to seek out people instead of being constantly bombarded with suggestions based on what the company that runs the service “knows” about you. it’s a very different process of getting to know people.

most of the mainstream internet is now based on adtech suggestions, and i’m not sure i like the consequences.

like, there’s this growing expectation of getting exactly what you want, and growing distaste for anything else. people seem to have stronger tendencies to just discard anything that isn’t perfectly to their liking, expecting something better to just come their way eventually. this even includes people, with the online dating industry being an example of where things are particularly horrible. the problem of “choice” is being offloaded to bayesian belief networks that can’t make human decisions.
