#pol204 — Public Fediverse posts

How often do you dive down rabbit holes?

After reflecting on recent essays, I thought it would be useful to make a single webpage with literature on echo chambers & rabbit holes.

Know of a useful paper on this topic that I should include? Let me know.

How could they put up with such things in the past!!!

How are we putting up with such things now?

"We have neglected airborne diseases like covid and flu for far too long"

"Now that we understand our mistakes there is no excuse"

"Journalism has a funding problem. Journalists are losing their jobs as a result. News businesses have tried various models to sustain their operations, while the Australian government has also attempted to address it through initiatives like the News Media Bargaining Code and the News Media Assistance Program.

One underexplored funding strategy for journalism is the youtuber business model. The growth of youtuber journalism indicates that this is a viable option for funding video journalism, especially long-form journalism."

This week in #POL204 we went looking for examples of people engaging in public sphere discussions (in the Habermassian sense).

So we looked on social media and comments of news articles for people having good-faith discussions using rational arguments in order to come up with solutions for societal issues.

It was quite hard to find them.

Tom Tanuki had a go at it too, kind of.
