It’s awesome. Am I being stupid though? Is there a way to open your feed with a only the a group selected? For instance, if I want to open all of my grouped politics feeds only, I can’t seem to do that.

Meta treats their influencers like shit, they are wise to avoid them.

They probably don’t want to be sued if they miss somewhere. If you’ve ever used a drone, it’s kind of strict in a not fun way.

They’re doing it to sell to companies to sell positive opinions and politics from “real” people.

I don’t think people are getting that they are going to sell this as a service to corporations. Kind of like selling positive feedback on Amazon if Amazon did or does that. They’re not trying to boost numbers, but sell people saying what the company wants them to say. This can be anything from politics to buying a certain product.

They’re the ones buying it.

I agree he’s a weirdo, but this isn’t engagement per se, it’s to make money. If someone seems legit and is saying how awesome a product is, Meta will create a persona for them for a price. Meta wouldn’t let people go rogue and create their own, they want to sell the service.

- Comment on 38% Gen Z adults suffering from 'midlife crisis', stuck in 'vicious cycle' of financial, job stress 4 weeks ago:
You’re only 2% behind them. It’s every generation by the way that’s having issues. I bet boomers and gen x are having less but similar numbers. This is a class issue, not a generational one.
According to a survey conducted by Arta, a staggering 30% of Gen Z respondents identified financial issues as their primary source of stress. Millennials, aged 28 to 43, echoed similar concerns, with 28% citing money as their biggest challenge.
- Comment on Potential Decentralized Fediverse Alternative to Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.? 4 weeks ago:
At its core, it would be a matter of having a place that accepts credit cards and a place that distributes it. You would have to have a back end like Paypal or Stripe or some sort of crypto that not everyone has. Also, crypto has to have a place that accepts and distributes, so you would need some kind of exchange. This seems easy on its surface, but I think it would be difficult in the end to take it completely out of the big corporation’s hands.

- Comment on Researchers achieve first successful communication between dreaming individuals 3 months ago:
Yikes
While no doubt fascinating, it is also a bit frightening. The idea of commercializing dreams sounds ripe for misuse and if we’re being force-fed content even while we are sleeping, when will we ever be able to truly unplug and get any actual rest?

- Comment on MY BODY IS READY 4 months ago:
As detailed in the complaint, the defendants’ alleged scheme has three main components. First, an agreement to fix the price of peer review services at zero that includes an agreement to coerce scholars into providing their labor for nothing by expressly linking their unpaid labor with their ability to get their manuscripts published in the defendants’ preeminent journals.
Second, the publisher defendants agreed not to compete with each other for manuscripts by requiring scholars to submit their manuscripts to only one journal at a time, which substantially reduces competition by removing incentives to review manuscripts promptly and publish meritorious research quickly.
Third, the publisher defendants agreed to prohibit scholars from freely sharing the scientific advancements described in submitted manuscripts while those manuscripts are under peer review, a process that often takes over a year. As the complaint notes, “From the moment scholars submit manuscripts for publication, the Publisher Defendants behave as though the scientific advancements set forth in the manuscripts are their property, to be shared only if the Publisher Defendant grants permission. Moreover, when the Publisher
