  1. 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. 🧠✨

  2. 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.

    *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

  4. 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.

    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.

  6. 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?
