I hold that Facebook, Twitter, and all social media larger in scale than, say, Ridemonkey, are very damaging to society and should be eliminated.

On that note, Parler seems to have actually gone down as announced.

I believe they may represent humanities Great Filter. Rampancy on a species wide scale.

You are not alone in that thought, sir.

gee, bold take guys


You ever follow youtube's recommendations to their logical end? At some point they end on q and nazi videos. That new zealand mass shooter even cited youtube....

This has been studied and documented for many many years.



But also, twitter et al played a huge role in the arab spring, and hong kong protests. They're not inherently bad. They're just currently inherently bad because of the shit algorithms they use that could very much be changed. They didn't mean to point to q and hitler, they meant to point to 'popular' things. So what you're seeing is a turbo charged, high speed logical conclusion resulting from the progression of capitalism itself.

I think it's fucking hilarious.
