Internet and largely tech is a tool. How you interact with it and how pervasive it becomes to the point of genuine hate towards a tool comes largely from choices on how you interact with it.
- JKCalhoun 27d agoSure. But it didn't used to be as pervasive or hateful.
- 72deluxe 27d agoIt did. The Internet has always had awful views on it, because it was used by humanity, who also had awful views on things. What is a hatred of the Internet seems to be a hatred of humanity or at least its ability to freely express itself. The solution is to reduce the noise, in much a way someone 100 years ago would only visit clubs or establishments they enjoyed.
- herunan 27d agoSo true. I think the problem is not that there's more or less hate. I remember forums and chats with awful stuff. The problem are the algorithms that put us into buckets and benefit from divisions.
- sakjur 27d agoYou're affected by the choices others make too.
- macintux 27d agoThis is the part that I feel the “just turn it off” crowd don’t think enough about. The algorithms helped give us the single most dysfunctional and corrupt US administration since the 1800s.
