  They work perfectly as intended and do what the US regime wants since they control all the important ones.
  Social media is media. Too important to leave unchecked.

  I mean, I feel like just shutting it down would solve at least some problems. Shuttering it all, video sharing platforms included.

  Not a situation most anyone would agree on, but it’s an idea.

  Getting banned from Facebook. After a decade of clapping back against racists. Has been the best thing in my life. So glad to be out of there. Just wish I could have saved my pics first.

  Sounds like it’s time to delete it, then.

  But what we find is that it’s not just that this content spreads; it also shapes the network structures that are formed. So there’s feedback between the effective emotional action of choosing to retweet something and the network structure that emerges. And then in turn, you have a network structure that feeds back what content you see, resulting in a toxic network. The definition of an online social network is that you have this kind of posting, reposting, and following dynamics. It’s quite fundamental to it. That alone seems to be enough to drive these negative outcomes.

  Trying to grasp it in my own words;

  Because social networks are about interactions and networks (follows, communities, topics, instances), they inherently human nature establish toxic networks.

  Even when not showing content through engagement-based hot or active metrics, interactions will push towards networking effects of central players/influencers and filter and trigger bubbles.

  If there were no voting, no followable accounts or communities, it would not be a social network anymore (by their definition).

  social media is what it’s made to be. social media as we use it is flawed.

  all of the platforms just do different colors of the same damn thing.
