I like how we are still framing this as "struggling to combat misinformation" or clumsiness, as opposed to what it is: a conscious if sloppy effort by a wealthy right winger to undermine journalism and his ideological enemies the press is so close to getting it

Meet Discover, a new custom feed we’re experimenting with! This is our latest iteration of the original What’s Hot algorithm. It mixes in a global view of what’s trending in the network with posts from accounts you follow and posts from accounts near your social graph.

"Oh but Zuckerburg is much less horrible than Elon" I hear people often say lately. Zuckerburg, the guy that got his start wanting to make a site to rate Harvard girl's breasts and called the early FB test users "Dumb fucks" for trusting him?

Remember when he said he would use his wealth to end world hunger if someone could itemize the process and some NGO did and he just said that didn’t count

Something very strange is happening to the Web. Finding something from the past on search engines is eroding. Atemporality replaced by an immediate, constantly vanishing, consumerist hyper-present. What we thought was an infinite Borges-ian library turning into Amazon checkout with a ticking clock…

Google is changing up search. What does that mean for news publishers?

A shift to AI-generated search results will decrease the traffic that Google sends to publishers' sites, as more people get what they need straight from the Google search page instead.

One nice feature of Threads is that trolls forget their accounts are linked to Instagram which makes them very easy to unmask. He deleted years of posts of his family after I called him out.

@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social has this one tweet that i think about all the time

A screenshot of a tweet from Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò that reads: "one thing I'm trying to get better about from here on out is writing and thinking even less defensively. trying to craft sentences into fortresses is a waste of valuable time and effort. what would you say if you were speaking to someone who's trying to understand you? say that."

Looks like Threads isn’t allowing Ukrainians (or others) to post war updates. How very Facebook of them.

I deactivated my threads account already but it turns out you can’t delete your threads account *without also deleting your Instagram account* so maybe just don’t sign up!

I like it here and I don’t think a mega corp Twitter clone can kill spaces like these. There is a high level of original thought and engagement, people care about each other and maintain a strong space minimizing bad faith, harassment, and disinfo, which lets people be themselves & build community

A perfect summary of the enshitification of Twitter

Prioritising blue tick content has broken all of these. Most Twitter users barely tweet and don’t care about followers – a “heavy user” tweets on average less than three times a week. So if someone is posting regularly enough to be willing to pay $8 a month for a blue tick, but has not built up a sizeable following organically, this is a very strong signal that the posts they are producing are no good.

It is exactly that content that Twitter’s new model relies on promoting – and those newly-minted blue ticks are quickly learning that there is no magic behind the checkmarks. New followers are not magically heading their way. The problem wasn’t a biased liberal algorithm, it was that their tweets are no good.

That means lots of blue ticks stop paying – but everyone else is forced to read the low-quality content that the remaining blue ticks produce. This is what is powering the enshittification of Twitter.

hey new users, Bluesky is a *public* social network please read about data privacy and more in our User FAQ to help you get oriented! even though we require an invite code to create an account, you should treat any posts here as if it's a public blog blueskyweb.xyz/blog/5-19-2023-user-…

What is public and what is private on Bluesky?

Bluesky is a public social network.

Posts and likes are public.
Blocks are public.
Mutes are private, but mutelists are public lists. Your mutelist subscriptions are private.
Invites and invite trees are private.

Why are my posts, likes, and blocks public?

The AT Protocol, which Bluesky is built on, is designed to support public conversations. To make public conversations portable across all sorts of platforms, your data is stored in data repositories that anyone can view. This means that regardless of which server you choose to join, you’ll still be able to see posts across the whole network, and if you choose to change servers, you can easily take all of your data with you. This is what causes the user experience of Bluesky, a federated protocol, to be similar to all the other social media apps you have used before.
