I feel like the people who always use these features spend all day talking about how awful the divide in the world is growing and how there's not enough love, while in another tweet dehumanizing people for petty disagreements.
When (not if) the Black Mirror feature of blocking people irl becomes reality, I'm very sure people will be eagerly lining up to block people for having opinions that were somehow wrong, and they'll have no way to ever redeem themselves.
- raziel2p 5y agoI think your feeling is wrong in this case. I think it is more aimed at the people who think neo-nazis, incels etc. are lost causes, or at the very least cannot be saved over the internet alone.
- jedimind 5y agoAnd by pure chance alone, every person such people disagree with happen to be 'neo-nazis, incels etc' right? Not that those labels are ever maliciously applied to shut down a debate and gain upper hand by vilifying the opposing party...
- sofixa 5y agoI don't know, I've yet to see someone called an incel or neo-Nazi where they didn't tick at least the majority of boxes to be qualified as such. It's not like some sort of magic card you can pull out in the majority of discussions.
- jedimind 5y agoI see, you haven't been on reddit yet, lucky you.
- Levitz 5y agoI don't think you can possibly aim this towards ideas, it's just a tool to develop an echo chamber. You can use it to block neonazis, you can use it to block trans activists, it's about dismissing some kind of content either way.
