This all sounds kinda not socialisty

2019-04-02 22:00:23 UTC  

I don't get why they said 'direct democracy' then

2019-04-02 22:00:34 UTC  

That's the opposite

2019-04-02 22:00:58 UTC  

I don't know

2019-04-02 22:01:08 UTC  

Maybe they're just dumb?

2019-04-02 22:01:19 UTC  

Maybe

2019-04-02 22:01:30 UTC  

I mean there are quite a few spelling mistakes in there

2019-04-02 22:02:13 UTC  

Not to mention I don't think they use a single comma in the entire thing

2019-04-02 22:02:27 UTC  

There's a bunch

2019-04-02 22:02:49 UTC  

But anyways, these are normal Libertarians, I was mistaken.

The direct democracy thing thew me off

2019-04-02 22:03:20 UTC  

Admittedly when i said that i was looking at the middle-bottom part

2019-04-02 22:04:14 UTC  

Maybe it's cus our system right now essentially makes it so they would never get elected

2019-04-02 22:04:42 UTC  

But they would have to be elected to implement that

2019-04-02 22:05:05 UTC  

I mean if UKIP taught us anything it's that you don't need to get elected to popularize a policy

2019-04-02 22:05:38 UTC  

And it's not "your system" that won't get them elected.

Very complicated, but to sum up: They're of a heterodox opinion on the Progressive narrative

2019-04-02 22:10:47 UTC  

you know it's hit the fan when it's the DUP that are the only sane politicians with their stance on Brexit.

2019-04-02 22:37:22 UTC  

Not sure if this or comp sci is the best forum for this discussion, but I'm curious what arguments there are:
*Should there be rules on large scale social platforms (such as facebook, google, youtube etc) against algorithmic filter bubbles?*

2019-04-02 22:38:22 UTC  

My own stance is that filter bubbles are bad because it induces tribalism and misinformation. But I have no idea what the solution is.

2019-04-02 22:41:39 UTC  

I agree.

2019-04-02 22:41:44 UTC  

Ban all social media.

2019-04-02 22:41:47 UTC  

Solved.

2019-04-02 22:44:31 UTC  

it's marketing tech being used to feed a user's interests, which creates echo-chambers... they would have to disable recommended videos/posts to make any difference

2019-04-02 22:44:48 UTC  

I don't think filtering is the problem. The problem is that the user does not choose their filters. There are not enough hours in the day to consume every viewpoint. You simply have to impose a certain level of information hygiene to get through the day.

2019-04-02 22:48:51 UTC  

@Jas Use a different platform.

But the real question you're asking is, should social media platforms be manipulating their users unknowingly in the interest of marketing?

2019-04-02 22:49:17 UTC  

Key word there is >unknowingly

2019-04-02 22:49:45 UTC  

You should watch the Joe Rogan episode with the creator of Minds.com. Very informative

2019-04-02 22:51:29 UTC  

good idea

2019-04-02 22:52:32 UTC  

You can tell the guy is secretly a shitposter, but has to tone it down for Joe lol

2019-04-02 22:58:44 UTC  

that seems like some <:fake_news:430430057060630529>

2019-04-02 23:13:12 UTC  

Just ban all social media.

2019-04-02 23:13:21 UTC  

It's a blight. It's a mistake. It's a curse.
