Facebook's war of words

I haven't been on facebook in since april 2014 and don't miss it.
a lot of my old veteran friends who still are there are telling me that their private groups are suffering a "post-pocalypse"
Now the thing about veterans is that we use words as terms of endearment that would quite frankly cause some consternation in others :-)
cunt, mong, retard, fucktard, cockwomble(much beloved word of the British armed forces) and others are triggering some sortr of algorythm and there's so many on 30 day bans they started an off FB forum of their own with no ads and no fucking bellend overlords wanking their opinions at you..
This apparently seems to be setting a trend in vet groups and some of the sick meme groups...i hope the trend will spread

Media and social networks are causing great harm to society

Their algorithms learned that the best way to keep people on their site is to feed them "news" that generates anger against injustice perpetrated by people who don't think like them. That's why society has polarized so much. It also of course conveniently diverts wrath from the real enemy of society: the criminal elite.

haven't missed it a bit and it's nice to see a beginning of a move away.

facebook will fall.

Facebook made myspace look trashy.

Well now Facebook made themselves look trashy
not in a cosmetic way but in a censory way.

The future is, multiple inter-connected blockchain-based social networks.

You will own your data.
You decide who sees it.

Think of email, or the web itself.

The underlying protocol is free and open,
and you get to choose what software and providers you use.

The future of messaging is like that.
The future of online videos is like that.
The future of social media is like that.

You heard it here first.

If my data is on a blockchain ...

... then how can I delete it?

Blockchain-based.

There will be a blockchain for things you want on permanent record, and also for identities, logging in, etc.

I think putting all the data on a blockchain would be highly inefficient anyway. It would be hosted on your computer, or services you subscribe to, which act in your interests - not in the interests of a corporation.
