Even if fedi was pure and perfect, it still exists within a wider ecosystem of algo-driven rage and it's influence leaks in from every side. It's not just that we don't exclusively get our news from the fedi it's that news articles themselves are optimized for rage, the writers are deeply under it's spell, politician's media strategy is optimized for it.
And we're all socialized by corporate platforms to engage with eachother in a way that prioritizes engagement, which we bring with us when we come to the fediverse
It certainly could be true but ever since I started blocking news on sight and read my local newspaper only, I have not seen nearly as much rage bait content.
That being said it is kind of annoying that every time I block a community posting news another one pops up :/
Algorithms give you what you want. If you're getting rage, you're looking at and upvoting rage. On Reddit, 99% of what I get are posts about Hitman, Blender, Boomershooters and other things I'm interested in. The same with YT except I also get obscure movies from the 30s and 40s. The more of that I consume, the more the algorithms push it to me. The same with news. If there's a big news event I might read and watch a bunch of news and then all the news stuff gets pushed to me.
Algorithms boil down to "Did user look at, upvote something with these keywords? If yes, then send more things with those keywords their way." These magical mystery algorithms are probably 5 lines of code most.
You looked at one of those videos at some point. I get them too because I occasionally get curious. Some of it is tied to watch history. You might have one buried in the pile. If you clean it out, you might not see those anymore.
Yes, it gives you what you respond to, it steers towards engagement. So it provides content which has a strong emotional response because the strong emotions drive us to engage. Anger and resentment are very strong driving powers here. I don't doubt that what you're saying about how the things you engage with, and how you steer the algorithm or the algorith steers you. But that doesn't disprove the fact that algorithms are generally making our debates more angry, it would just suggest that you are less vulnerable to this.
What would disprove it is if people would quit upvoting, reading, and watching things that make them more and more angry. Algorithms don't steer anyone. People steer themselves with the algorithms. They're essentially mirrors of one's personality. Just be aware if you upvote a post that says "Tech billionaire kills baby seals with his bare hands, has sex with the corpses, and laughs about it on TikTok", you're going to get more stuff that has all those keywords in it. However, if you upvote "How do I subdivide a mesh in Blender?" you will get a bunch of stuff about Blender, subdividing 3D models, and other topics related to that.
Yes, it's a mirror, that shows us people are very emotional, and prone to react to emotional triggers. The algorithm has figured this out and is using it to maximize engagement. People will not stop reacting to these emotional triggers. Sure it's commendable to avoid these rage-baits and pay attention to other things, and some will be better at this than others. But to think that people en masse can choose to not be caught and manipulated by these algorithms seems really naive. I know tons of people who spend more time on TikTok than they wish they did, but it's hard to resists something that's so cleverly optimized towards you, as Yuval Noah Harari says it: it's hacking our brain.
The algorithms aren't that smart. They're extraordinarily dumb.
For example, on YT recently I got recommended an ancient video from 2011 where an ex-con was giving advice about how to pick up hookers. I looked at the comments and tons of them were recent and also confused about why they were recommended this video. After sifting through my own watch history, I realized I had recently watched the Austrian version of Eyes Wide Shut where the main character meets a hooker. So the algorithm just looked and saw the synopsis had the word "hooker" and found another video where the word "hooker" is used, and then sent it my way.
The algorithm is not even as smart as any given free chess app that some college kid wrote over the weekend as an exercise. If the algorithm is manipulating people and hacking their brains, that's a problem with the wetware not the software. The remote control isn't hacking people's brains when they press 5 and the TV displays channel 5.
One of my favorite subreddits back when posting photoshopped pictures of birds with arms was all the rage was /r/notbirdswitharms which was a sub where you couldn't not just post birds with arms, you couldn't post anything that wasn't a sandwich
Geordi’s visor can see all ends of the electromagnetic spectrum, but even he can’t find the source of some Fediverse arguments. It really is farm-to-table rage here. 😂
If it is Top, then that is what people are choosing to upvote. But you don't have to browse by Top. PieFed even offers keyword filters, plus the ability to unsubscribe from all such communities while also allowing you to see them with just the touch of a button to go to a Topic Feed showing it when you (rarely) actually do want it. You could also replicate this behavior in Lemmy, but it takes having one account per Internet area and that's a huge pain. Or you could just sort by New. Or block the users submitting such content. The list of configuration options available to you is practically endless, and nowhere explained in the slightest degree that would be helpful:-).
!nonpolitical_comics@piefed.social does a pretty good job of keeping that stuff out.
Sadly, this kind of filtering is (and can not be) the default. And configuring your feed well is hard and takes time. You could also, in theory, do a similar filter thing in the cooperations' big asocial media sites.
I just remember that it was very very much work curating my feed (and constantly needing updating as new communities came out needing to be blocked), back when I was on Lemmy, and then when I switched to PieFed it became incredibly easy. Tbf it did take me a few weeks to get used to it, but ever since I have almost never switched back to scrolling All.
Even then though, why downvote content simply for existing? Like I don't live in [insert name of specific neighborhood/town/city/state/region/nation/continent/area of world], or follow [any sports team at all], but even though I don't want to see its content (usually, I mean like on a daily basis, although perhaps rarely?) I do not begrudge such a community for its mere existence? In fact I celebrate it! I highly disagree with the philosophy displayed by people who downvote such posts that are not relevant to them, harming those communities that are just struggling to get off the ground. I don't think that's terribly productive.
That was a common problem even in the old/bad place, once a post reached r/All causing a flood of toxic newcomers (this one more about receiving toxic comment replies than votes I think). And actually PieFed offers a solution where if the mod configures it such, only votes from subscribed community members gets counted. That aspect won't federate with Lemmy though, since the latter is only aware of the binary options for voting and can't handle such nuances currently.
Well, they at least claim that they aren't trolls.
🤔 Although isn't that exactly what a troll would say?! I say, I've cracked the case! 🧐 They are trolls! Either that, or... they are not, or something else, I dunno.
If you go by the metric of "if not troll then why behave as troll would?", then the answer becomes much easier to find:-).
Lemmy's "Top" is scaled based on what other Lemmy users are doing: upvotes, comments, etc. It's basically the people who use the site collectively deciding what's interesting, which is a lot of American politics these days.
Meta, Youtube, Twitter, etc. use what people on the site say as part of the algorithm, but they also examine the content to try to discover if it is something engaging or enraging. They compare it against models of what makes people stay engaged, so if there's something with millions of comments and lots of "likes" but Meta doesn't think it's good content for them to sell ads against, they'll push it down in the ranking.
I usually do Top 12 Hours as my default. And then for individual communities Top Day/24 hours unless it's a small community then I'll do top of the week.
Top 12 doesn't filter all of the American spam, but it cuts out some in my experience. But I also just have bookmarks going to my favorite communities anyway.
Ok, 5-16% is precise enough that you must have an interesting methodology to share but you were waiting for a question to prompt an answer. This is that comment.
Outside of the ethical considerations, I'm not militant about the organic label. But I stopped by this little health food store in a tiny town (think ~1k pop.) in a very red state, and she told me that I would never buy brussel sprouts from anywhere else after trying her's. I was dubious at first, but I just cooked them a few hours ago, and she was absolutely correct! Best sprouts I've ever had!
I went and scrolled facebook recently and it is absolutely crazy. You get some ads, sure, and a few things that real people posted, but like half of what is on there feels like some kind of shady psychological experiment.
It's like a whole spectrum of flavors of ultra-processed engagement bait. Much of it is made to look like normal people posting normal things, just with a "follow" next to the name and 5,000 replies from kind old people trapped in a rabbit hole they don't even know exists.
I can't even fathom what contemporary Facebook is like. I deleted it in, I think, 2009 or thereabouts, right after they changed the timeline from reverse chronological to whatever their first iteration of the engagement-based one is. I thought that sucked pretty bad, so, yeah, can't even imagine how bad it is today.
It is fairly easy to accept that it is just amplifying human nature. The main issue is that with the major locked down aggregators the amplification is intentional and continuously changed to increase the amplification by doing things like stuffing divisive posts into feeds.
A huge chunk of humanity is currently tripping up over the "is fascism bad?" question. There's no fucking way we're tackling the subtle influence of internet algorithms.
On the bright side, if we do ever get around to the topic there will probably be a lot fewer opinions to contend with.
I mean things like GIFT are always going to be with us but this feels like the normal level of being angry at idiots on the internet versus turbo corpo enshittification
It depends on how you count. In total? Sure. Proportional to the population? I don't know about that. The fediverse is great for testing bot configs and seing how passing they are.
Posting current events in the appropriate communities should not be considered "rage". People deserve to be informed and have the ability to plan for the future.
