Farcebook - community?

I know we've all been there, struggling with "the Algo" that's broken


Fuck You Too Facebook (*no I'm not in prison again, but a friend is)



This is the thing, you have your settings private, only your friends can see (so its not publicly visible) and you are joking around innocently and say something like "stab" and boom ... you're down.

The Algo tells you like a nanny about your own community standards ... I miss the old days of Facebook. COVID paranoia and lockdowns and attempts to enforce "the truth" on what antivaxxers were writing led to a broken system.

The Algo is now just like the Gestapo became.

  2. Hey Matthias, there may have been some "autoincorrect" from your phone in the above. But if its Gestapo, Stasi, Kempetai or what the Chinese are doing now one has to always be aware of authority becoming authoritarian. Equally we need to be aware of Dunning Kruger and people without a clue coming to conclusions that are simply not evidence based:

    I think we've all seen that.

  4. a good quote from Chernobyl:
    Valery Legasov: We're on dangerous ground right now. Because of our secrets and our lies, they're practically what define us. When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is, still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.
