nixCraft 🐧So let me get this straight: First, it was Elon. Now, it is Mark. Two guys are removing all moderation rules on social media. And are people asking another billionaire to build alternative social media? Do you even hear yourself? That is not going to fix anything. Maybe we should go back to the days of blogs, mailing lists, individual forums, and RSS feeds and end this madness of centralized social media apart from the federation. I’m just saying
Jarno@nixCraft yes, we should. But the majority isn’t going to. We really have to realise that this is reality now.
@jarno sad reality
@nixCraft yes and I don’t know what we should do with that realisation. But we should stop acting like things are going to get better because people will wake up or something. That is just not going to happen anytime soon.
(I think people in general will have to find out the hard way)

mmby@haui @jarno @nixCraft imo, if any science can save us, it won't be the 'hard' sciences that the people who are doing these things are self-professed fans of
it will be humanities and empirical sciences like sociology, psychology
the problems are in our heads and the sociotechnical systems we have created (and I think they interact to our disadvantage)

@mmby @haui @jarno @nixCraft i detest this western concept of hard and soft sciences. This is an inherently faulty framework which turns into an invisible force preventing engineers from thinking about the impact they're making and "humanity" oriented people from making any impact.
I implore everyone to be well rounded people who train themselves in a plethora of subjects without such arbitrary constrictions.
