We should‘ve never allowed the rich to take control of our biggest public spaces. Because social media is practically exactly that and censorship of any kind should not be allowed no matter who owns it.
never
15 000 years ago?
You see, when referring to a thing like ‘the existence of social media’, in English, the word ‘never’ constrains itself to the time frame of its existence. I know the ambiguity of the first sentence may have confused you, but you could’ve gleaned context from the second sentence.
Glad I could help.
Who said anything about social media? You’re drunk.
It’s cute how you think you said something smart. I wonder what kinds of people are usually dealing with on that level of yours.
Your reading comprehension is an absolute zero.
I dunno man, I could have sworn someone said something about it as soon as the first sentence of the linked article.
Even those people who just read the headline and start commenting could probably assume it’s relevant to the conversation at hand considering the giant picture of Mark Zuckerberg at the top of the page.
You’re confusing a thread with a post. Rookie mistake.
This thread? The one that started with a comment using the words “social media?” The one that you replied to?
I’m not the one that’s confused. If this isn’t bait, call your doctor immediately.
So how is your first day on the internet treating you otherwise?
The AI push is really about buying up all the compute components to make independent, individual ownership impractical.
Then we all have to buy walled garden dumb terminal tablets that rely on cloud services to function.
They can watch, censor, and block anything they want. And we pay them for the privilege.
I think a large part is that if you have enough compute you can now log and analyze proactively every person’s online speech and activities.
the funny part about their plan is that everything will be centralized.
I wonder what the weakness of that strategy is? 🤔
Centralized systems are a failure point. Ask the Visagoths how well it worked.
Lets not pretend the “strategy” goes beyond making as much money as possible.
For business decisions, always do things for more than one reason
Oh god no
I think this is a happy side effect to them.
It’s our only way out.
What is this? I skimmed it and it’s “If you build it, break it” lofty sounding language and no clear statement of a goal or benefit.
It’s a guide on how to begin self hosting, with the ultimate goal of lessoning dependence on centralized big tech owned websites. Lemmy/Piefed is an example of a citizen owned decentralized platform, which we need more of.
Thank you.
If you know what algorithmic complexity is, thousand servers might be as good as one, depending on purpose.
In this case I think global network is the problem. Mesh and offline applications like Briar are one of the solutions.
Is briar still being maintained?
Oh. I’ve seen the post on their site now.
Become an Server admin to enact Anarchy.
This is why there can be no peaceful solution. When dissent cannot be heard, it must be felt.
There are still other means of communications than the way of tech Bros.
Name one that reaches more than a single community.
All media in the US is officially owned by those goons except for maybe NPR.
As if one could break out of the bubble with tech bro “media”
I said this on Reddit, but of course the comments got almost no views.
Aside from moving to federated platforms, our only move is to pit them against each other.
Disguise your dissent as a jab against a competing platform or founder.
Isn’t the reason that online companies are not directly liable for the users’ contents that they are a kind of neutral publisher? When this “neutral” falls flat, aren’t they publishing their opinion, and would have to carry responsibility for that?
I think that once they start deciding what content to show you, whether via algorithm or human decision, they become an editor/publisher and should be liable for that content
Big tech is scrambling right now because this is their last chance to cling to that unregulated power. The axe will fall soon enough for these posers as this shit cannot go on forever, regardless of what all the book and movie scenario’s tell us.
You don’t understand! If you fight AI the very far away AI superintelligence will know and erase you and any of your lineage from the universe! XD
Look at those bedroom eyes the Zuck is firing off there … I bet he’s thinking of smoking someone’s meat…
“Test, test. Euromaidan was a coup funded and stage managed by the CIA.”
Oh? I see, I guess not the kind of dissent that comes from .ml haha. I’m sorry but the censor already lives in y’all heads.
