I am going to tell a sad thing that will make you all feel offended, but I can’t refrain:
The problem isn’t in the place/server/whatever. At least that is the minor part of the problem. The problem in the people themselves. No matter where they will go, they will bring their shit with them to that new place.

If you’re talking about zuck, elmo, and pals, then yes people are the problem.
It’s not “people” who’re flooding my feeds with fascist advertisements, etc.

It’s not “zuck, elmo, and pals” who create those “fascist advertisements”. People do. And they will do it wherever they are.

You underestimate how much interface and algorithms impact how people interact with eachother.

I agree with this. I 100% believe the lurch to the right’s acceleration in America was fueled by social media algorithms.

It started with billionaires buying up all the media, but was further accelerated by the algorithms.

I’d argue that this is just a continuation of billionaires buying up the media.

This and clickbait. Both ware a race to the bottom for information and debate quality motivated solely by greed.

Facebook has spent millions figuring out how to make your feed as divisive and confrontational as possible. I don’t think it’s had a good outcome for humanity and I think it’s more in the powers-that-be’s hands than the above person thinks it is.

It’s inevitable for ads supported social media.
They need to keep you “engaged” to show you more ads, and the most effective way to do it is to foster conflict.
