I'm not washing my hands of anything. I'm not denying there is a problem. I'm trying to identify the nature of the problem, because that's important to finding solutions.

No. They don't. Please don't pretend to read others' minds. There are a lot of people at Facebook who are trying to improve these things, but it's a very complex problem and a very complex system. There's lots of disagreement about what the solutions are, or even which direction represents improvement. And mindless bashing just doesn't help. If your only answer is that Facebook should die, then you might as well just be going "bla bla bla" because that doesn't move the needle at all.
- ryandrake 6y agoYou might notice I'm not bashing and haven't made a moral "should or shouldnt" argument. I'm simply saying that complex system is what it does, regardless of the intent of the people building it. You can't disentangle Facebook the platform from what its users use it for. It's all one system that does X. If Facebook the company is trying to change that X to something better, they should be supported.
