#herdmentality — Public Fediverse posts

Ah, the wisdom of the modern age: 🤡 If you're not quite sure what the cloud is, don't worry, just blindly follow the herd and slap a Cloudflare sticker on it! Because nothing says "tech-savvy" like #outsourcing your brain to a content network that promises to do all the thinking for you. 🧠✨

Don’t we already know the answer to this one? 🙈:

What the herd hates most...Thinking differently isn't just unpopular — it's threatening. Schopenhauer said it, and it still hits hard.

Be the one who dares to think. Even if you're the only one.

Feeling like Matt Murdock for the last 8 years, seeing people choose the wrong things over and over again simply because it's popular or convenient.

Stuck on Big Tech vs. Big China, America Overlooks the Real Social Media Revolution Happening Elsewhere

The Fediverse, a network of decentralized social media platforms, thrives in Europe and Canada, promoting privacy and user control in contrast to U.S. corporate giants. Factors like European regulations, public funding, and anti-Big Tech sentiment contribute to its success, while the U.S. struggles with corporate dominance and lack of privacy laws, lagging behind in digital innovation.

Silo is showing how people in power play the many against the many, while the few rarely feel any negative consequences.

Now this one makes me think of the anti-abortionists AND the mandatory vaxxers.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - no one should make a law dictating what you put in (or take our) of your body, regardless of morality or “safety.”

#repost: IG/maryjruwart “Collective coercion is the coward’s way of getting what they want.”

*NB: there's no verified evidence that he actually said or wrote it. Mandela spoke extensively on topics of unity, equality, and reconciliation, so the sentiment aligns with his beliefs, but this specific quote does not appear in his documented speeches or writings

This is the funniest, most on point #SiliconValley thing I’ve read in years. #memes #vcs #ingroups #HerdMentality #techbros #lolsob

It’s so inside I’m not sure anyone outside the bay area will get it. It’ll just be an acid trip of word salad. But holy shit is it on-point.

@douglasmeehan
One thing that we need to be mindful of is some things that we're trained to think are good, like being able to immedialey see how popular a post is by glancing below the post at the Like and Boost amounts, are #toxic for a #community in the long-term.

They encourage both #botFarms and #herdMentality.

That's why for many years #Fediverse softwares would not show such numbers by default. Instead opting for <BLANK>, 1, or 1+.

In 2022, #Mastodon broke this tradition.
@ntnsndr

I love all these “This social media site is doing this so you should do this because #herdMentality” Run! Danger! Pay no attention to what your eyes and experience tell you. PANIC PEOPLE! WHY ARE YOU NOT PANIC-ing?

Is Star Wars a trilogy?
#NRB #herdmentality

Report finds that almost half of the #celebrity's #turdsite followers are fake.

#OREALLY

Try 80%.

This is why we say #MastodonApp should **not** show the #popularity of #toots until the user opens them.

As we expected, a great interview by #ChrisHedges with interviewee, #PulitzerPrize winning #journalist #GlennGreenwald.

When these guys bat, they hit home runs.
