The highest purpose of all communication systems, is the increasing of consensus among humans and their societies. The exchange of ideas between person and person, until one agrees with the other, vice versa, or something in-between.
More consensus, allows more secular decision making, furthers co-operation, and therefore increases the rate of advancement of our species. You can't achieve this by putting everyone in their own box with their own LLMs, which will only generate content in response to the occupant of the box. You're likely to end up with each person pulling in a direction of their own hallucination enforced chat session.
Modern systems often do the opposite of increasing consensus. It categorizes and divides us, avoiding confrontation and the exchange of ideas. Amplifying the insane, instead of challenging them. Affirming, not correcting. Modern mainstream social media, several other information technologies, and your misconceived notions of how the fediverse works, must be done away with.
You need to stop feeding the trolls.
Hey, if they're busy with me, they're not busy with someone who'd actually be bothered by them. I like doing this.
And maybe, just maybe, some of the time I get through to one. They'll never admit it in the moment, of course, but set em on a path to do some actual thinking, maybe they'll come out the other side a better person.
Yeah, but as the creator of the thread, I'm also getting notifications 😂.
Really? I feel like every post I've made, I only got the one notification for each new comment thread, not each comment within one.
Sorry to have bothered you, if that's not how it works.
Haha, no worries. I'm on kbin and it's every comment. Every comment thread would be better.
Ah! That's the difference, then. Maybe you can change it in settings?
Nope, doesn't look like it. I'm sure it's in the backlog!
