Teaser for The Social Reckoning, a film by Aaron Sorkin, follow-up to The Social Network

Although hints of what was to come were there to see, The Social Network, the 2010 dramatisation of the founding of Facebook, had the hallmarks of a feel-good story. At least from the perspective of would-be entrepreneurs, whose next-big-thing idea, had, against the odds (of course), become the next-big-thing. A lot has happened in sixteen years though, and there's not much left in the Facebook story for many people to feel good about today. Aaron Sorkin, who co-wrote the screenplay for […]

I very much prefer the fediverse aka Mastodon (yes, I know) over the other text-based social networks. Especially over the one that used to be so important to me.
But it does have it downsides and I usually notice them when I am trying to see who else besides the people I follow is talking about stuff. Especially during events like the Nürburgring 24h, LeMans this weekend, in general all motorsports events. The target demographics don’t seem to overlap all that much. (And no, it’s not because I’m on a small instance. It’s the same on the hashtags on mastodon.social.) I guess the chances of enthusiasts, the racing series, teams or even drivers finding their way to our corner of the internet is really small.
Bummer. But not enough to get me to look at that place again.

What I do find disturbing governments and mainstream media know that both Meta and X has a detrimental effect on people's mental health, society and being used as propaganda machine both by individuals and governments to spread hate and destabilise governments.

But do nothing!

AI Has Broken the Internet
The complete degradation of shared digital realities. Synthetic traffic, automated content mills, and algorithmic search optimization are rapidly making open-web exploration unviable, forcing human communities to retreat into closed, verified communication spaces.

People have become so obsessed with Social Networks now they miss the real world around them totally.

A subtle hint the world is not the dark, dangerous and conspiracy filled place the social networks paint but a world full of real people who are living real lives in a real world.

It's time to take both Meta and X and their owners are taken to task for the damage they are doing to our society, culture and governments around the world.

It's time they are forced to take responsibility for their actions rather hiding behind the poor excuse of freedom of speech!

Facebook spent billions on the metaverse and all they got was a new name

A postmortem, perhaps, of the metaverse, particularly as envisaged by Meta, by Nick Heer. A number of other big tech players also had visions of an all encompassing immersive, digital realm, but aside from sometimes considerable expenditure, not a whole lot came of it. From where we are now, several years later, the connection between the COVID pandemic, and Facebook's announcement they were effectively going all-in on the metaverse, couldn't be clearer. The world was in the midst of […]

In my personal view it is high time both Meta and X were told by our government to clean up their acts or get banned as it has been proven time and time again they are both damaging to our society and our democracy here in UK!

But, two years since its launch, the site has around just 10% of X’s estimated global users. […]
