I see you failed to learn nuance in your schooling.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They’ve grown up online. So why are our kids not better at detecting misinformation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The experience from 20 years ago is that all of these people instantly forgot everything they learned and complained that they were never taught it. I don’t think you understand the problem here.

Considering I learned how to type from playing RuneScape, not from the 4 separate typing classes they put us through, I don’t really think most students would learn tech literacy from public education if they teach I or not. Look at the people complaining that no one taught them how to do their taxes dispute the mathematics required do your taxes being taught to 100% of the US population before they enter high school. It’s not the education system, kids don’t care. The only fix is to kake the kids care, but if you just push them through regardless of their qualifications for the next classes, no one cares if they fail. People would benefit a lot from learning how video games retain players because it’s exactly the same philosophy behind policies like no child left behind. They give out rewards to everyone regualrdless of performance or difficulty of content and people become complacent and comfortable. Unless you give incentive for progression, in this case probably the pressure of not going to the next grade with your peers, everyone will find a spot to spin their tires and do so until they run out of gas or the tire explodes. Meritocracies might not be perfect, but they’re core to a proper education system.

I had a class in 2nd grade back in like 2002 that taught us about how to spot fake websites, what TLDs meant, and witch ones we could probably trust. One of the examples was a fake site made either as a joke or for these kinds of lectures about tree squids. It was photoshopped octopuses high up in a tree. As with everything in the education system, it’s not that theyre not being taught these skills, the students are not interested in learning them. There are classes that taught me things that people who sat next to me in those classes denied beging taught.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The comments are why most people go there. It’s the major differentiator from other social media platforms. Holding a conversation on Reddit is much clearer than any other site. If YouTube has comments like reddit it would be a very interesting change to a lot of content that goes on Reddit at the moment.

It’s about transparency to the customer at point of sale. It’s like nutrition facts for your internet, literally.

A part of your YT Premium payment goes directly to creators that you watch based on your watch time. That is their content expenses just like HBO for making new shows.

active is about what posts have a lot of comments recently.

hot is completely useless because its filled with content that’s less than an hour old with virtually no comments. its very poor quality content.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
its not about the instances, those are actually hindering growth by dividing communities across instances and defederating them. lemmy is basically several copies of reddit in a trench coat pretending to be a social network.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
we don’t need more memes, we need people to start going to the games, movies, shows, and hobbies they like and making posts.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
until personal interest groups are populated people will not use this site. its basically 1 big meme sub right now with some tech and politics sprinkled on top.

outside of the keyboard, you could defiantly make this into a viable terminal interface. just make sure all of the “widgets” are relevant information and its not a bad idea.

You’re attributing combative interaction to an algorithm on a site that has no algorithm. Congratulations you just proved the algorithm isnt needed to cause interaction. People do this with no computer forcing them to, but tons of people here are convinced that every other site is filled with bots manipulating content for people when the people are asking for the content, sometimes very directly.

And you’re the one doing it all, not a computer. the computer is not that smart, you need to tell it what you want to see.

The fact that the user is the one imputing the data to determine the received content in some way. You’re selecting the content you interact with, not a black box trying to take over the population. They just want you to stay on the site, look at the ads, and never leave. They don’t care about your political allegiance or what movies you like, they will feed you whatever you want.

No one forces you to engage in arguments on Reddit or Twitter. You have autonomy over who you interact with on both sites. You’re not being forced or manipulated to do anything. If you engage in this these things people perceive as negative, it’s because you choce to do it of your own free will.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
There is no truth to it. The vast majority of negative interactions and aberations on a social media site is brought about by the users, not by the operators of the site. These tools they have are not as powerful as you think they are. The only reason they have any power at all is because the users give them that power because that is what they want. You don’t have a successful site by manipulating the user base to do what you want them to do, they will just leave. You simply give them what they want and they never leave. “The algorithm” is there to give the user what they want, and they’re actually really bad at doing that.

More like, it was developed by socialists who didn’t want to use cooperate owned social media sites that promoted beliefs they didn’t agree with. It’s just that what they really wanted was an echo chamber for what they think and they are going to defederate their way to it.

Can someone explain to me why everyone on this site thinks that everything bad about other social media sites is somehow being forced upon the users to enslave them to “the algorithm”? It’s like socialist Qanon.
