Social Facebook is changing

I don't even know if any company can do that.
they can certainly create barriers to dramatically reduce the bots


easiest one is to make the bots pay for an account. While I dont pay for my x account, it has zero influence there. bots that dont pay wont have any influence, posts get buried by the algo. If a bot is paying for it...... well the company is funded further to fight the bots further, it's a system that doesnt work out well and bots are better off on free platforms.

secondly, throttling the system like how sherdog has a minimum post time. This can be configured to throttle posts even further, for instance a russian IP to american IP thread poster would add an additional minimum post time. Repetitive posts can be throttled, etc. The more barriers you have, the tougher it is for the bots to defeat.

You have login tokens that you can enforce, captcha systems, make them pay for vpn's, make them pay for service, make it difficult, you can target countries known for bot issues, pattern recognition of posts have have suspected phrasing triggers, etc.
 
Get rid of fact checkers and have "community notes" when half the community are effing idiots? Why not hire competent and not corrupted fact checkers? Social media is literally where false conspiracy theories and anti-science thrives and it's driven by the community itself.
I think it's mainly driven by Russian money, then the algorithms that prioritize content by the outrage it generates, but I'd agree the users themselves who indulge their confirmation biases play a significant role.

Troof. The incredibly anti science modern trans ideology definitely thrives on social media
 
It’s the freest one out there. I never understood why we couldn’t use the G word though

Gay?
Some of the words (IIRC) are banned because of web crawlers.
I find Sherdog to be pretty lax, its not hard to not get banned on here. So no complaints from me.

No. We call each other Gay all the time. Especially some of the big time queers in here. Bunch of Gaybirds they are.
 
Facebook isn’t changing; the world is changing - Facebook is just adapting.

Unlucky, Libtards.
 
What about FB. Are you in favor of the change? Or prefer it the way it was?
If I may interject, I can't say if the change is good or bad but I can say Zuckerberg's excuse stinks to high heaven.
 
The billionaires are completely united now. Meanwhile the working class is blaming every problem on immigrants and trans people. The rich want to promote positivity and remove fact checking because they know the next four years will make them more powerful and the rest of us more poor. Just look the other way while we royally fuck you over. He’s saying the exact same crap as Musk. Combine this with the self censorship coming from places like Washington post and it ain’t looking too bright for America.
 
Good point but the phrase "double as much" makes me want to slap the person who wrote it.

The article also fails to establish any baseline for total number of posts between 2022 Twitter and 2024 X, while using total number of enforcements as the metric, which bothers me. And I’m not even Private First Class Pedantic.
Still, Elon’s obvious hypocrisy is obvious, and I like to remind people that “the left” just happens to like different so called free speech than “the right”. The social medias are taking advantage (and sowing the seeds) of our mutual mistrust.
Musk being a friend of Putin makes it seem like a sinister brand of capitalistic behavior, but, whatever, let’s enjoy the show I guess.

<WellThere>

The funniest part is the right wing dopes who have, for years, been bleating on about the WeAlThY eLiTe CoNtRoLlInG eVeRyThInG aNd RoBbiNg ThE wOrKiNg ClAsS.

And then they totally eat up their bullshit lies and distractions and vote them into power.
 
Fact checkers had an easy workaround anyway. You could literally block them.
 
Do you think telling people how to think is better for them?

Who decides what the correct information is?

And don't you think this could be abused? What if the only thing allowed on Facebook is the greatness of Donald Trump or flat earth theory. Don't you think allowing both sides to voice an opinion is the best route? And let individuals form their own opinion?

Do you really think restricting free speech helps people?
I think there is an obvious difference between honest debate and blatant disinformation. Do you think it is okay to let people be lied to? Blatant disinformation is a problem and is intended to have a negative impact on people.

Somehow as a society we have lost site of the value of being honest. No one benefits from being lied to. Why you think it okay shows how far we have fallen.
 
Impossible to distill from this post whether you're making fun of idiots who fell for the scamdemic or if you're one of the idiots lol

LOL. Yea it was all made up. No one died from covid. Am I right?

So what's your angle on on covid, just a way for big Pharma to make money? Government trying to control people?

I wonder why folks like you never hold Trump accountable for the government's response to covid. Strange.
