Funny timeline we live in
The alternative is Facebook with lies that go unchecked completely. This is actually an area where AI is not bad.
edit: sigh. Refusing to acknowledge where things can be useful. NO, ALL BAD. BAD BAD BAD! AI BAD! ALWAYS BAD! NO USE! NO GOOD! ONLY BAD! BAD BAD BAD! Such fucking blindness.
The system that is notorious for lying being used for fact checking. Yea maybe you should write “bad” in caps lock one more time, that will make you right.

I doubt it, honestly. It’d likely catch a lot of misinfo, yes, but it would likely also classify any new findings that run counter to previous assumptions as misinfo. LLMs can’t keep up to date. And they still have the same issue that whoever trains them gets to decide what is and isn’t misinfo, which starts being a problem when it’s an ubiquitous social media site.
The problem is building the network. Nobody uses it because nobody uses it and nobody will use it until everybody uses it.
That has always been and will always be the primary problem. You can solve all of the other problems and it won’t matter.
It used to be easier to spread the word when there weren’t so many alternatives, to be honest. Right now, I’m not sure how to convince people.
I disagree. This has been a thing for 20+ years. Facebook started out the same way. So did reddit. That’s one reason the founders of reddit created mulitple accounts to post from at first - to make the network look larger than it was.
I’ve joined several networks over the years that didn’t pan out. The one I remember from a few years ago was Imzy. Good platform, just didn’t take off.
A classical sign of an early worldcentric worldview that is more about competition than about collaboration. A level “orange” in Integral theory. But humankind is continuing its development to late worldcentric worldview “green” level and more. And Fediverse is helping with that!
Alternatives are great if only people were using them.
I have a hard time understanding why people are so hard headed on not leaving
eYou, you are simply too late to the party. As the piece highlights in the early paragraphs, its already being done by Mastodon and the Feds (the good Feds).
I just discovered Mastodon and the Feds (that should be the name of a band) and I’m utterly thrilled to have control of what I see. Its a breath of fresh air. I look forward to my feed every day. I know its not going to be full of bollocks about Trump and other toxic stuff. Its a game changer for me.
The future is FOSS and data sovereignty and I feel a little bit closer to it today that I ever have.

eYou? No! eMe!
