Psychotherapists treat mental health through comments.

There’s optimal cheap and too cheap. Someone always wants to be the cheapest in its class, and they’ll compromise on quality to get there.

Your casual lawbreaking will be used against you.

Maybe they are like that because we already ship them off to indoctrination camps between ages 7-13.

There was a time when computers were designed to grow our culture:

Every country has enough gullible people to vote for a professional liar with a Hollywood face.

Increased blood lead level in children has been correlated with decreases in intelligence, nonverbal reasoning, short-term memory, attention, reading and arithmetic ability, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and social engagement. … The effect of lead on children’s cognitive abilities takes place at very low levels.

High blood lead levels in adults are also associated with decreases in cognitive performance and with psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

Collective human intelligence augmentation = Computer-aided collaboration = Crowd thinking.

Quora became good in its first years until the other co-founder was fired around 2012 (Coincidence? Who were the visionaries?). Quora stagnated until 2018 when the remaining (visionless) co-founder started enshittifying it.

With crowd thinking, we can avoid semi-accidentally killing all life in this star system with our ever more dangerous technology.

• Memex enables building a consensus about reality, ascending us from arguing about knowledge to building knowledge, preventing the dangerous propaganda shown.
• NLS solves problems faster, reducing damage caused by stupidity and perverse incentives.
• Dynabook makes humanity crowd-wise, making life better, surviving future better.
• Dynamicland is the best user interface for knowledge in crowd thinking.
• Xanadu web transforms economy by rewarding real value making according to evidence-based logical consensus, removing perverse incentives, preventing future problems like the ones shown.

But we choose to risk extinction and keep paying for this horror show instead.

Destroyed computer-aided collaboration.

Leadership: What is important, what redundant projects should be joined or axed and their developers merged.

Who made this?

• I’d like it if it said Matrix is federated, Signal is not.
• Meta should be grouped together.
• Aren’t there other alternatives to Reddit than Lemmy, so there should be more arrows going out of Reddit?

Something should be said about fringe servers (I’d never say “instance” except “server = instance”) and defederation both ways being common, so your home server choice matters. The email comparison is broken and should include “in principle” and then continue with “in practice [real situation]”. This is a start:

I like the yellow bubble here, but it’s inaccurate in many ways:

The infograph we’re looking for should also say at least:

• Manipulation can be done by outside forces making fake users, not Fediverse programmers.
• Censorship is done by server administrators and community moderators, but (on Lemmy at least) community and its server censor your post, not your home server. Might show a scale of servers where lemmy.world is at the strict end.
• Your votes are public, you can be tracked, but it’s not done by default.
• On Lemmy, you shape your default firehose (‘all’) feed by muting (users, communities, servers), not by up/downvoting or following. A normal person will have to mute tens of communities for the feed to start looking tolerable. This is one of the many prices of freedom you will have to pay, as are bugs and user experience issues. (AFAIK, no fedi platform uses votes for feed shaping, but many commercial ones do.)
• The choices between apps or web-ui should be shown for each fedi platform.
• …

I don’t see “too fast” being a factor. https://www.quora.com/Who-invented-the-modern-computer-look-and-feel/answer/Harri-K-Hiltunen
