  3. 😮‍💨🆘Why is no one replying to me? Why does everyone see the post but do nothing? I'm not a filthy beggar. I just want you to help me survive. No one is replying to me on Signal, Mastdon, or Blue Sky. If you don't want to donate, just write "I don't want to." One day you'll be like me.😞😞

    I'm writing these words from my heart because I'm appealing to you all. Thank you to whoever donates, even just one dollar.😭🙏🏻
    You enjoy seeing me beg you? I won't forgive anyone. You want to know why? Because I'm 17 years old and I'm supporting my family, and my future is ruined. What am I supposed to do? 😭😭😓🆘🙏🏻👇🏻

  7. @petpet The general problem with most recommendation systems is that usually none of the algorithm's many parameters are in any way exposed to the user or opened up for customization. Most existing recommenders could be very easily tuned for different preferences & use cases, but instead they're consciously designed as black boxes and purely optimized for the preferences (and benefits) of the companies/platforms hosting the content, with a lot of these decisions driven by ad-tech as main business model...

    From working with various UX teams over the years, it also has become absolutely clear to me that the default design behavior/goal is about patronizing/funneling people, treating everyone like toddlers with the omnipresent presumption that "less is more" in any situation, i.e. the main legacy of Steve Jobs & Apple's design philosophy which has been so influential in that field... That design approach equates "simplicity" with a literal lack of available options and then celebrates it as innovation. It's sickening and dehumanizing!
