What. A. Surprise.
Algorithms fed by content primarily created by western white men tend to produce content that reflects the biases of western white men.
No, let’s go a step farther because it doesn’t have a lot of content from, say, impoverished white men. So western white men of the middle class on up.
No, let’s go a step farther because much of that content actually comes from techies or wannabe techies. So western white men of the middle class on up with a leaning toward interests in technology.
So the technology that advises people to use glue to keep toppings on pizza should be used to pick targets in warfare?
This cannot possibly go wrong. Ever.
So you’re saying that a Lemmy instance that will let anybody casually reach for profane abuse isn’t going to succeed?
Wow. What an own goal!
Please do go on. Just go on without me. It’s pretty clear you’re exactly the kind of person I dropped Twitter over (and the kind of person that had me never even bother with festering pools of dysentery effluent like Reddit). We shan’t be talking again.
Control doesn’t make money making easier when that control destroys the economy. It turns out productivity drops when people are treated like shit. You can see that happening at Twitter and Facebook both, for example.
But you’re right that this is about control. It’s just that it isn’t necessarily about the money except insofar as having a lot of money gives you a lot of control. Shitlords like the Apartheid Manchild or Harvard’s Robot wouldn’t care if they lost money … as long as everybody else lost more.
And yet it seems most people avoid spaces that have the conversations you like to have.
Here, try an experiment. Run a Lemmy server with the rule that you can say what you like within the bounds of law. See how many users come to your space. I’ll bet for sure you’ll be bigger than even lemmy.world what with all the people who want to habitually reach for “fuck you” that are being so unnecessarily repressed by so-called civil society!
You’ll sure show us, won’t you!
