The history of predicting the future is littered with laughable forecasts.
Star trek has a surprising number of accurate hits. Unfortunately a miss on the utopian, inclusive human society bit to date.

I wonder if, 5-6 decades ago when artificial intelligence was being floated as an idea, the scientists and programmers thought that one of the primary uses for this incredible technology would be shitposting.

Quality work!
Oh absolutely no chance.

They would've expected it to be used for pr0n like everything else.

squashface your absolutely right with meta and the right wing bs. Redownloaded fb for marketplace and my god why am I getting so many right wing shit. That said I noticed Instagram was worse, especially the comments.

I actually remember the day when they used to properly moderate social media sites and now even with Ai it’s out of control.
 
I disabled my Facebook account about 1.5 years ago now. Best decision. Only reason I haven't deleted it completely is because of Messenger and WhatsApp to chat to mates.

I've never used any other form of social media and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

Same. I’ve got no social media accept when i redownload fb for marketplace.

Someone told me that we’ll need ID for social media sites soon and even platform will ask for it. I wonder if Bigfooty will need to ask its users for ID too.
 
Well my Twitter feed is full of posts showing some random dude stabbing a young woman to death on a train totally unprovoked in the US

And the other passengers simply walking away and doing nothing to help her

Society is truly ****ed

We just had someone walk into our workplace (and this is a repeat customer) and start stuffing their pockets full of little ducks off our counter that are sold for charity for surf lifesaving. We called him out on it and he paid for 4 but refused to empty his pockets and I reckon he had at least another 10 in there. Who steals from a charity?
I mean obviously not on the same level as stabbing someone to death...

I don't get right wing hate speech on Instagram. Just big T**ty goth gals for some reason.
 
What defines social media is the question I guess. Social interaction with others where ideas and news are exchanged? (My words)

By that definition I'd describe BigFooty as a social medium.

Demented and sad, but social

The difference between forums and social media platforms is the absence of an algorithm that determines/dictates what content is shown to participants.

Engagement is much more organic on a forum.
There wasn’t always an algorithm though. Places like Facebook and Instagram were still called social media back when they just showed you a chronological timeline of posts from accounts you follow.

The perp was a black man and the victim a white woman.

The right are posting racist shit about the perp, the left are overly showing a murderer sympathy for being mentally unwell.

Time to log off social media for the week I think.
