Wikipedia has much less content
- TheOtherHobbes 5y agoYes. Perhaps that's a clue? FB's groups are terribly designed if you want to have a conversation and keep a collection of useful information. They're cleverly designed to keep people scrolling forever on a content treadmill - in no way the same as optimising them for usefulness.
- Spivak 5y agoI mean TikTok is the perfectly optimized content treadmill and compared to Facebook and people rave about how good it is. You forget that a lot of the value of social media is passive entertainment to unwind.
- colejohnson66 5y agoWikipedia can also be “moderated” by anyone. If I see spam or incorrect info on Wikipedia, I can edit it myself. Maybe reword things, add references, etc. On social media (FB/IG/etc), I don’t have that choice. My only option is to report it and hope the moderators don’t say “this [x] doesn’t violate our community standards” on a clearly spam/scam account/comment/post. I’ve reported so much garbage on social media only to be told it’s not a scam or whatever, I’ve practically given up trying.
- Spivak 5y agoI mean you can't really do that on Wikipedia anymore. Sure the edit button is there but there's the spiritual equivalent of a PR process now.
- colejohnson66 5y agoTrue; I’ve definitely had my edits reversed or challenged. But I’ve also made many edits that weren’t (mainly on more niche pages).
