Technology Bluesky Explained: Why This Social Media Network Is Growing by 1 Million Users a Day

[monkeylove]

Lots of people live most of their lives on social media.

A 10 second search of social media will return literally 1,000,000+ truly horrible and insidious things. Unless you surveille the space - FB, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Discord, etc, etc - you have no idea of how truly horrible social media is.

Social media is even more untrustworthy as mainstream media. Anybody can decide to be an influencer or to be a "journalist."

I am fully for governments going full authoritarian to shut down social media. It is worse than just about anything else. Decentralized or whatever. It is not good for people. People are ALWAYS the problem. ALWAYS.

The catch is that the same governments are run by the same people.

Well those government people need to Blackleg Seargent boot stomp social media into the dust.

Social media is creating new generations of children and young adults with the mental capacities of a cross-eyed gold fish.

I'm not talking about "government people" but the point that the people are the government.

Also, I saw similar before social media emerged, like discussions in BBS fora in the 1980s.
