I think in general you're right. Though 'your/our mileage may vary' depending on subject matter that is being discussed and the people who take notice of a discussion and decide to hop in. It can get very heated, where quickly all nuance is lost. Fedi has like a soft, fluffy outer layer where it is all cozy and respectful, but a deeper harsh parasocial crust lies beneath that, from where the same anti-patterns of other platform can surface. "Fedi drama" has pushed many people away over time.
I must say I feel things have improved over time, and being on a well-moderated instance helps, but also it is hard to tell the extent to which 'balkanization' into echo chambers and fragmentation lead to quieter spaces. In itself there's nothing wrong with that, as long as there's cross-pollination. Offline we are also not part of one large herd.
In a reply (in context of activism) I mention #CALMculture and the thread I linked has interesting pointers.

Yes. It is of course very understandable to express our concerns about the world we care for, and convey the urgency to do so. I'm guilty of doing so myself from time to time, adding to the doomscroll.
We want engagement to take place beyond the 'shoutcast' of the microblog. Microblogging has the offline equivalent of standing on a soapbox in a market square. It only does awareness-raising well, but reaches mostly fedizens already aware, feeds an echo chamber.
#SX defines #CALMculture which stands for Constructive activism-led movements.
We should rethink what #activism entails. How to make it more strategic and effective. There's a process to that:
1. awareness -->
2. engagement -->
3. activation -->
4. cocreation 🌱Working on solutions together.
So much activism remains stuck at 1) often in very aggressive ways that repel like-minded folks. Or only emphasizes "sacrifice" the activist MUST give, rather than rewards of participation.

I am #antiAI in the sense that the disruptive introduction of #LLM platforms into society, and damn the externalities, makes #AI utterly inhumane technology.
What I do not think is very effective, is the anti-AI #activism that involves attacking or 'ostracising' any person who uses AI or is not equally vocal in expressing negative sentiments towards the technology.
People should be pointed to all the dangers and follies of this technology, sure. But repelling all those that use AI, which is nearly everyone since AI is forced down our throat, the activism only serves to push the activist into the fringes, instead of winning people over in a growing movement.
#CALMculture is needed. Constructive activism-led movements, where people are guided on a journey from awareness to delightful #solutions. Offer a path of solution-orientation that open new opportunities, instead of just pointing out harm and laying judgment.
Grab anti-AI opportunity!

@uriel yes, very nice, thank you.
The whole #AI thing is quite interesting from a Social experience design perspective. #SX has Humanity and Freedom as intrinsic values, and the aim is to develop unobtrusive, harmonious, and humane technologies that serve people's needs.
From that perspective I am anti #LLM as the disruptive introduction in society is totally irresponsible, making it inhumane technology. Yet unlike with blockchain there are also undeniable upsides, numerous positive applications of the technology too.
I think the biggest near-term risk is the dehumanization and further erosion of social fabric between humans, which is to the benefit to festering #hypercapitalism and the #EpsteinClass who ultimately owns the technology.
SX defines #CALMculture, for Constructive activism-led movements. I think the way I see most people conduct #activism against AI, closing ears and ostracising AI fans, is doomed to be ineffective. CALM involves cocreating pathway towards solutions.

@oblomov some impressive analysis, thank you. Found via boost by @plutarch
I looked before at the phenomenon, and with an eye on fostering inclusive and cohesive online socio-cultural environments, relating to Social experience design (SX) practices.
A concept in #SX for instance is #CALMCulture which stands for inclusive culture in Constructive activism-led movements, whereby the activism doesn't stop by awareness-raising but follows up into a solution-oriented process. Tries to attract, engage, and activate people for the good cause. I see a lot of activism on fedi that is more likely to backfire by how confronting it is, or 'sacrifices' it demands in the call-to-participation (a call to conformance), or it has become more performative for an in-group of peers, echo chamber activism. Many anti-patterns come into play, most prominently the purity spiral.
That's tangential. Part of that exercise I defined the more #inclusive terms #ReplySigh and #Oversplaining as SX common language.

Yes well said! In society we lack ways to deal with wicked problems. The kind where there is no one single solution. It is a given that special interest groups apply their lobbying and propaganda powers to influence public opinion. And that #activism for the good cause and against malign actors lacks ways to spark a large mass of people into coordinated #resistance and onto pathways towards #solutions. The call of the #activist is for #awareness and #participation, but that all too often requires 'sacrifice'. Often harsh moral judgment is given to those who contribute insufficiently in the eyes of the activist. As result the activist does not win people over, and activism may even backfire.
Social experience design, while focused on tech foundations first, is a generic solution development methodology aimed at ability to affect societal impact and solve wicked problems. It defines #CALMculture as a way to organize activism in a commons.

@draNgNon thanks, some very good food for thought.
I think the crucial point is that we do not know and do not offer proper ways to deal with different modes of communication, esp. if the only medium channel constitutes a stream of sticky notes, such as we have here in this #microblogging space.
On the first point, when is something an #EchoChamber vs. a healthy interest area, I think depends how well one is able to cross the 'membranes' of all the various social contexts and information spaces one navigates online, as it were.
There should be a place for 'influencing' to an extent if only to reach your crowd and build community and such. But all in balance and proportion and clear social context preferably. Non-profits and #activist groups want to influence, we may want to be informed.
To the last point. There's urgency to address the dark world situation, and either organize or lose. #SX defines #CALMculture as a way to engage in constructive #activism..

Whatever we think of #AI / #LLM mad hype cycle, we have to deal with its rushed and inhumane dumping of the technology into global human society.
#CALMculture is a strategic approach to that allows activist voices to have the most impact in dealing with the dangers of disruptive technology introductions, and focuses beyond berating people and demanding sacrifice ("don't use, or else.."), to creating a process that helps win people over and work together on best outcomes and in direction of solutions.
#CALM stands for Constructive activism-led movements, such as Social coding commons. Coding is social, and #SocialCoding the holistic approach to ensure that.
