Endnu et dansk bud pÄ et facebook-alternativ, her med MitId-validerede brugere. Nogen der har prÞvet at bruge det? Ikkde open source, data pÄ dansk jord, reklamefrit, pÄ mange mÄder sympatisk synes jeg.
For voksne, ind til videre (18+), satser pÄ debat/samtale, lokal forankring.

Avoiding Algorithms
Weâre never going to escape algorithms completely. But if we can recognize where theyâre shaping our attention and make small choices to push back, we stand a better chance of keeping them from running our lives.

Avoiding Algorithms
Itâs wild how in the last 15 years we have given over almost all of our entertainment and information diet over to corporations who use algorithms to ensure we spend more and more of our attention in their sandbox. More often than not, these changes are a net negative. That sounds dramatic, but think about it: how often do you open an app âjust to check one thingâ and find yourself half an hour later feeling worse than when you started? Hell, how many times do we open said app after a push notification invited us to do so? We get sucked into these systems in ways we donât intend.
The outcomes arenât subtle either. People get radicalized, feel depressed, follow rage bait, fight pointless culture wars, and consume an endless feed of vibes-based, samey music and video slop designed to keep us clicking, watching and listening.
This shows up in a ton of places, especially where we are entertained and informed:
None of these categories are inherently bad. Music streaming is an incredible bargain. YouTube can teach you almost anything. Social networks can connect you with real community. But the defaults are tuned for addiction, not for your well-being.
So how do we stay intentional about what we consume without becoming hermits? A few things Iâve been focusing on lately:
For me, the general guiding principle is that I need to pause and ask whether the thing in front of you is content you actually sought out, or âcontentâ being pushed at you by a company whose only metric is time spent in-app.
One last angle thatâs not algorithmic but still worth calling out: audiobooks over podcasts. For me, podcasts increasingly feel like junk food â especially in politics- where so much is just topical rage bait. Audiobooks, on the other hand, feel like vegetables: a slower, more nourishing way to spend time listening.
Weâre never going to escape algorithms completely. But if we can recognize where theyâre shaping our attention and make small choices to push back, we stand a better chance of keeping them from running our lives.

Bluesky Goes Dark in Mississippi Over Age Verification Law
People in Mississippi can no longer use the social media platform Bluesky. The company announced Friday that it will be blocking all IP addresses within Mississippi for the foreseeable future in response to a recent US Supreme Court decision that allows the state to enforce strict age verification for social media platforms.

Your Data Shapes What You See
Very interesting⊠Yet, very disturbingâŠ
I use LibreWolf, StartPage, Searx instances, and have fingerprint resistance turned on. I also donât use YouTubeâs app and have custom browser scripts to limit algorithmic manipulation. Since their systems know Iâm a real person but have little information about me, theyâve started defaulting to a Visitor Cold Start strategy.
Google has started selecting a broad set of potentially relevant videos, stories, and suggestions using location data and the minimal profile data I filled out as fallback signals. They use this as a starting point for suggestions, hoping I will like or dislike them so they can start extrapolating using A/B testing. When I look at a control profile that uses everything like an average user, I see that their algorithms aggressively try to code for gender. They push the account toward political discourse aimed at gender.
Because sites have started to use information about your browser to identify you across sites, I recommend people see how unique their browser is. Am I Unique is a good site to check out to test how easily identifiable your browser is across sites.
Absolutely fucking nuts! These companies have started to aggressively build psychological profiles and then tailor their recommendations in ways that drag people toward whatever political corner has the highest amplitude in frequency for their location.
For example, I noticed a difference in Georgia compared to California. In Georgia, male coded viewers are being pushed toward Christian targeted ads, sponsored podcasts, and manosphere content. There are many sponsored ads advertising podcasts, specifically manosphere cryptocurrency podcasts, being recommended on YouTubeâs default app for male coded viewers. This varies from profiles where the location data indicates California.
I am using the word âcodedâ because the algorithms are attaching tags to peopleâs profiles that are abstracted as such. If you have a cluster of particular behaviors, machine learning algorithms tag them and then abstracts that as a cluster or clique that has a code name. Itâs very disturbing how quickly algorithmic code names become assimilated into common vernacular and used routinely in discourse. People are being programmed by this shit.
My identity is liminal, so it is hard to categorize me or pin me down with an algorithm, but when systems try to define my identity, it lets me see the shape of the ontology of the container.

In the era of likes and followers, the paradox is served: difficulty in feeling seen, heard, and interconnected. AI is configured as a new scenario to the rescue of loneliness.

President Trump called out Cracker Barrel's logo rebrand as a "misstep," urging a return to the original to harness customer loyalty and media buzz. The controversial redesign dropped iconic elements, sparking social media backlash and stock declines. Cracker Barrel acknowledged feedback but hasnât confirmed a reversal.
