Why are they so hell bent on finding a reason to scan eyeballs
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 5 days ago:
That might be a good way to go about it, and it’s easier to moderate too
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 5 days ago:
A few universities have “confessions” pages on facebook/reddit. I think a key requirement for your platform would be to set up some ground rules and have manual approval for each post.
Even then, you might start to see soapboxing and hate mongering in the longer posts that moderators don’t have the capacity to deal with.
The other solution would be to keep the person anonymous to readers, but not anonymous to the moderators, to prevent one person or entity from sending in a bunch of harmful posts. However, that comes with its own problems like data leaks harming legitimate users

In the 1970s, Gingrich was a professor of history and geography at the University of West Georgia.

Slowly unsubscribe from things that aren’t worth your time, and remove apps and shortcuts to disrupt your unconscious muscle memory.
You can also fill that time with other things, it doesn’t necessarily have to be other social media :)

- Comment on Is there any good laptop cleaners so I can set it to max settings and get rid of bloware that are free? 1 week ago:
Definitely do not pay for a bloatware remove tool… That sounds like paid malware.
Also be careful with any advertisement that says it will remove bloatware. It’s likely also malware
There are some popular open source / source available scripts that are more reliable. Someone else mentioned one in this thread

From what I remember, they were going to “use AI” to handle moderation. It felt like a grift from the beginning

- Comment on After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes 1 week ago:
…
Do the senior engineers NOT sign off on changes to systems that can take down the production servers? Even if we take out the LLM created code, this sounds like a bigger problem

- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 2 weeks ago:
They wouldn’t suddenly ban it though.
Any ban would roll in without enough time for people to switch away. Twitter doesn’t do anything special that can’t be replicated elsewhere.
- Comment on WhatsApp officially names Mullvad and Amnezia VPN as go-to tools for bypassing censorship 2 weeks ago:
Supposedly Amnezia is an anti censorship tool, however Facebook has a terrible track record with recommending VPNs. The previous one turned out to be spyware
Onavo, Inc. was an Israeli mobile web analytics company that was purchased by Facebook, Inc. (now Meta Platforms), who changed the company’s name to Facebook Israel.[1] The company primarily performed its activities via consumer mobile apps, including the virtual private network (VPN) service Onavo Protect, which analysed web traffic sent through the VPN to provide statistics on the usage of other apps.
Guy Rosen and Roi Tiger founded Onavo in 2010. In October 2013, Onavo was acquired by Facebook, which used Onavo’s analytics platform to monitor competitors. This influenced Facebook to make various business decisions, including its 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp.
Since the acquisition, Onavo was frequently classified as being spyware, as the VPN was used to monetize application usage data collected within an allegedly privacy-focused environment. In August 2018, Facebook was forced to pull Onavo Protect from the iOS App Store due to violations of Apple’s policy forbidding apps from collecting data on the usage of other apps. In February 2019, in response to criticism over a Facebook market research program employing similar techniques (including, in particular, being targeted towards teens), Onavo announced that it would close the Android version of Protect as well.
