@Viss NYT had really interesting reporting on this (oddly almost exactly a year ago)

I don’t mean to be overly optimistic, but if food companies are being forced to cut down on salt and sugar and increase protein and fiber, that does seem like a good thing

@Viss every other windows OS just sucks. Full stop. Unclear if it’s intentional or not, but it’s almost like Microsoft can’t innovate on their own, but they’re great at stealing an idea and improving on it… so they release a sh*t OS that has a bunch of broken innovative features, then they steal it and fix everything.
It’s been that way since windows 98. Win98: great. WinME: suck. WinXP: great. WinVista: suck. Win7: great. Win8: suck. Win10: great. We’re now on Win11.
The difference is that this time they forced us into the suck.

@mathaetaes the 'good' cycle gets you addicted. the shit cycle they remove value to pressure you to move your shit to their cloud

@Homoevolutis0 @Viss this. duolingo has declined in quality for a while now and the last straw for me was the ai shit.

That's basically a Snapchat filter. Just wait a year. With the magical new Disney license, A.I. could make that possible.

@Viss What's the problem you have?
(also, this may heavily depend on which touchpad your laptop has – there are very significant differences between manufacturers) -

@Viss I guess an alternate reading of the data is it only takes 3% to make a space extremely toxic :/

@aburka it would seem to be the case, yeah - and reading between the lines tells me that folks would rather suffer and complain than do anything about it

@Viss I think that, plus the absence of engagement maximizing algorithms, plus the absence of “suggested” or “promoted” content, plus the absence of ads and thus revenue sharing, plus the ability to choose an instance by its moderation and (de)federation, explains the healthier discourse in fediverse. That 3% quickly get themselves banned on any instance the rest of us would choose, and find themselves relegated to the instances with which ours won’t federate. And then no one sees their toxicity but their fellow denizens of the cesspool servers.

@Viss that sounds right

@deFractal @Viss in fediverse the social cost of migration to a server with better moderation is extremely low. But for other places that cost is skyhigh because most of the time it means leaving your community. And as twitter shows, things can get really shitty and people will still stay.

@Viss Just one more reminder that community and proper moderation are vital.
