  13. CW: Social media is an "unhealthy online environment... [MP3 Version]

    @openrightsgroup MP3 Version

    #Social media is an "unhealthy online environment".

    The problem is the #business #model which underpins these #monopolistic platforms to:

    ➡️ promote #ragebait :nes_fire: to rake in the money. 💰

    Jim Killock told #BBC News what needs to be done around #SocialMedia:

    ✅ Competition
    ✅ User empowerment
    #Decentalization / #Decentalized #Platforms

    #OpenRightsGroup #SocialMedia #Health #BBC #JimKillock

    #Decentralised #Platforms / #Decentralisation #Mastodon #Fediverse

    #Audio about #Advertising
    #BusinessModel of #SocialMedia is #Commercial

    My #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON #PEERTUBE ETC -

    NOT JUST MORE TECH AND #TECHIES - develop people themselves!

    We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people...

    (and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by #tech ).

    Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (or any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for (all normal in new relationships) / what do if this or that... / how to WORK WITH someone new / where and when to go regularly somewhere...

    Some chat happens but is that it as a Mastodon #movement? ❓ (any groups with just a donate button and nobody to talk to)

    Such a lack of depth... 📉

    Without some training, we the society are lost / undirected online / offline. Sorry but best time to plant a tree / invest in a person is now!

    Let's chat (as positive ending and action needed between reader and I - more if we can imagine it).

  15. The game, originally invented by Elizabeth Magie in 1904 as the Landlord's Game, was designed to demonstrate the negative consequences of #monopolistic practices and the unequal distribution of #wealth. Magie's intention was to show how a system that allows a few players to accumulate vast wealth while others are left with nothing can lead to social and economic #inequality.

  38. CW: IS IT ALL THE SAME #Algorithm - Capitalist Monopoly - #TickTok vs. #Facebook #Meta, #Twitter #X, #Instagram, #Bluesky #YouTube #Google #Goverment

    @randahl
    Agree about #algorithm #bias from #TickTok and a #quote or two here...

    ===============
    IS IT ALL THE SAME?
    ===============

    🔴 If #TickTok vs. #Facebook #Meta, #Twitter #X, #Instagram, #Bluesky #YouTube #Google are all the same types of #bias then it seems like a lot of #hypocrisy / #hypocrisies happening.

    ⬇️ Sounds like these similar types of phrases below ...
    (please correct / add ➕ your version )

    🔴 " It's not #terrorism when we do it "

    🔴 " If other countries do the same we do, it's called terrorism
    - we are Freedom fighters so it's different..."

    🔴 Other "#Freedom fighters" are terrorists. Only space for our version of Freedom / #Capitalism / #Capitalist Monopoly only.

    🔴 " Only we get to do the #fuckery and #enshitification because that's also a #monopoly we want to control! "

    I might be confusing a #Government with #Company here in this post - but also that seems like a 'company' of sorts with it's own similar #algo pattern (as #army company or #financial company helping provide it with #tax) - so it's hard to separate these kinds of competitive and territorial entities, one setup within the other.
    #Government #Governments
    #Company #Companies
    #Taxes ➡️ #War or other 'smaller' #Oppression / #Depression

    ⬇️ and good points by others below...

    💬 " The tiktok ban boils down to "it's only okay to use these #shady practices to try and control the #population if WE do it". "

    So these sort of #quotes and arguments from same people [ #Zuckerberg #Musk #Trump #Bezos etc] have demonstrated their full alignment with what seem always about the same #monopolistic #power, #territorial #aggression, #spy / #spying #control, #growth using other people's #resources etc... to make their country and " #SiliconValley " seem great...
