Study of TikTok, X 'For You' feeds in Germany finds far-right political bias ahead of federal elections | TechCrunch

We just need fediverse awareness, I think the assumption is that these platforms cant be replaced or recreated, like ppl assume even the look is something that cant be remade elsewhere, or would cost a ton. People also need to give what the masses want if thats what they want, apparently mastodon avoided quote tweets forever because of bullying, I can not see myself using a microblogging platform without quoting, its probably the most importatn feature.
-
And anything relating to gaza the comments are truly disgusting and disconnected from reality. Honestly all Reddit has become a battle ground of 80% hate and 10% people trying their best to fight back with another 10 not caring (in terms of commenters)
-
Unfettered platforms such as Lemmy?
-
its also the place where people get banned very easily, so i had to avoid those subs to avoid getting banned myself.
-
It's blatantly obvious what they are doing.
I have a 10 year old company Twitter account I don't use anymore, and at some point they put suggested tweets in my notifications, which would usually be related to my industry because of the accounts I follow.
Now it's a constant barrage of Elon and Andrew Tate tweets... In my notifications... It's being forced down my throat, and I haven't engaged or even seen their content at any point in time. -
Absolutely. We're far from relevant so the bot / bad actor influx is probably negligible. Defederation won't protect anyone, they'll just use the major few instances and get access to 90% of feeds. Afaik points and account age don't matter, so bans don't matter. At this point, Lemmy has no defenses.

I think it was Napoleon who said "Never distract your opponent while he's making mistakes"
-
That's crazy. What happened to photoshopped instragram "models" and protein powder influencers? Is everything really just propaganda now??
-
Só musk is getting ready to buy germany
-
Sigh, the algorithms are controlled by likes, it has no idea the content is alt right. But they are nazis though so they obviously would want to and aren't stopping it
-
What's stopping the likes being boosted by bots? And who's to say who's controlling the bots. Elon's Musks profile it has been suggested is mostly followed by bots. Now maybe that's a third party or maybe it's Elon himself doing that. More than one way to knowingly manipulate a algorithm artificially.
-
Yup, lost my decade + old account, but it is what it is, another app to get off of
-
Well at least there will be a bidding war with China!
I want to put the /s sarcasm mark, but I'm not sure if it's really sarcasm. More sad, sardonic humor but based on some potential truth.
-
Limiting it's size sounds like a really good approach imo. Something as simple as a user cap or having to be "accepted manually" like in Lemmy would help to contain the attacks i'm thinking of. They can always still infiltrate, and do their shit, but doing so in thousands of different plataforms would be both impractical and expensive.
-
You forgot bots. Good % of every comments are bots on LLM algos.
-
Yes? Should I go into detail on why it works the way it does for more whine? No. I tried to educate and you refused it just like a child.
-
Not sure your education is worth much tbh. Happy for you to keep it
-
You don't know that, like at all. They say that it is, but there is absolutely no reason to belive them, musks and zukerbergs are lying pieces of shit.
-
His reply was perfectly civil and mature. You’re the one who’s acting childish.
-
Simple sorts are fundamentally different than the algorithms people are talking about.
