This is a big problem because the algorithms are feeding us content we don't want and yet they are hard--or sometimes impossible--to change. We have found that most people want greater control and transparency over what they see on social media: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This is 100% why people who've been on X for years now get so weirdly bummed out by Bluesky or any other site. It isn't that bsky is a 'bubble', it's that being a shithead in the replies gets you an immediate nuclear-block, rather than immediately rewarded with Skinner-box treats

It's worse today, since ICE is funded by our tax dollars and officially endorsed by legislators. While often allied with the government, the KKK was mainly funded by idiots buying hoods from the Klan leaderships Ponzi scheme.

Like lab grown diamonds vs earth-mined, it will soon be impossible to tell the synthetic from the 'real.' Academics and pundits are in denial about this possibility, since it means the market for their hard-earned wit and wisdom will soon be glutted with free goods.

Re: Bluesky influence. I just filed an essay that discusses the Reconstruction Papers published by @liberalcurrents.com. I learned about it via Bluesky. I connected with @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com over Bluesky. Now I'm going to put it in the local paper where non-Blueskiers will read it (maybe)

BLUESKY: We’re launching an account on Bluesky and will begin sharing our stories there. Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok are brainrot machines, but we’ve decided that Bluesky is different. As a Bluesky user, you own your data and have greater control over the algorithms that serve you content. Also, the platform is extremely publisher friendly and aims to surface and be a quality partner to high-quality news sources. So far, the discourse there seems to be of a higher caliber.

"Twitter is not real life"—Narendra Modi decodemail.boomlive.in/p/bjp-s-mach...

It was Narendra Modi's first public comment after weeks of silence on the protests convulsing the capital, and he'd chosen to break it in their language. He called the paper leak "not a trivial matter" and promised fast-track courts to prosecute those responsible.

Within hours, the internet had taken it apart. One parody kept Modi's opening line — he'd addressed the protesters as "friends" — and cut to three young women staring into the camera: "No, we are not." Other edits spliced his pauses and hand gestures into meme templates, set to trending audio, dragging up promises they said he'd never kept.

Twenty-four hours later, Modi posted a reel again. Same format, same hour — this time thanking "the youngsters" for watching the first one and sending "insightful suggestions."

That same day, at a Cabinet meeting called to toughen penalties for paper leaks, he turned to his ministers and asked how many of them ran active Instagram accounts. Not enough, apparently — because he then told them, according to people in the room, to stop treating X as the whole internet and start making reels of their own.

Watching the man who built one of the most sophisticated political social media machines in the country — a decade of WhatsApp forwards, X armies, an IT cell trained to move fast — get outpaced on a platform, was one of the stranger subplots of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests.

On Bluesky I expect to receive bad replies, so I post less than I might otherwise. Not necessarily mean/offensive replies, just annoying slop. Would love to see the platform find a way to incentivize smart/funny/surprising conversations

Love when an innocuous 300 char post that could not possibly contain the full breadth of subtlety and exploration even the most mundane aspects of life possess is accused of intentionally eschewing that exploration and endorsing every element, good or bad, housed within the subjects of that post.

Bluesky knew the strait of Hormuz, Graham Platner, and AIPAC democrats were all cooked months before the experts did. Meanwhile Twitter was convinced Spencer Pratt would win and the Odyssey would bomb. Which site is the not-real-life echo chamber again?
