I didn't know that averaging 10 messages per day is considered "posting like crazy"

Lets hear your theory then about what that means.

I wouldn't agree with "sticking fingers in my ears and saying it doesn't matter" being a fair representation of what I'm trying to say here.

I would claim that in the case of person's skin color we truly shouldn't care about it any more than we care about the color of their hair or eyes. It's it’s a description of appearance, not a reflection of who they are. If we want to live in a world where this is the case, then my argument is that paying more attention to it is not the way to go. I'm sure the people behind this have good intentions but it's the method I disagree with here.

It's genuinely difficult to tell from some of these that it's done with AI.

Sowing distrust on the election system is exactly what Trump wants.

Title says 40% of posts but the article says 40% of long-form posts yet doesn't in any way specify what counts as a long-form post. My understanding is that the vast majority of Facebook posts are about the lenght of a tweet so I doubt that the title is even remotely accurate.

Investing and protesting are two different things. If you combine the two you're doing it at the cost of gains.

Edit: itt: brain, dead, and fascist apologist Facebook Earth, who just refuse to accept that their platform is one of the biggest advent of Nazi fascism in this country, and they are all 100% complicit.

This is some Facebook quality content you're bringing to us here. It's so great seeing this kind of posts on my feed first thing in the morning. Shows that it's not just AI poisoning our social media platforms.

I know that feeling, and in my case it's not even bicycle parts.

Life is a sandbox game and nowhere it says you need to play it like other people do. I look at the lives of the "average person" and I don't want what they have so I also don't see why I should do what they do and expect a different outcome. Ofcourse one doesn't just choose to not care about what others think - it's not that easy, but there are small steps you can take towards it that you can do every day.

For example: I like looking at things. Virtually every day I notice something and go: "what is that?" A normal person would maybe look at it while walking by without stopping but not me. I'm the guy others walk by wondering what the hell is he doing. Just yesterday there was this fascinating chain mail curtain that a store uses to close in the cashier window at night and I spent a solid 2 minutes there twiddling with it while the staff was wondering if I'm going to buy something or not. Nah, I'm just studying this thing here.

No it's not but I think you know that. Why did you need to make a new account to ask this?

Yeah I don't want to be that guy telling others to install an app to stay in contact with me. That would be extremely hypocritical on my part as I'm the one those people who refuses to install any apps people tells me to and it wouldn't solve the issue anyway as then I'd still be using WhatsApp as well but now I just have one more additional app to communicate with certain people.

Nowdays doesn't seem to matter where ever you go there's always an app you need to install to do XY and Z. I don't even have a Lemmy app as I only use it via browser. Same applies to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Pixelfed, Reddit and so on.

It's inherent feature of human reasoning across the board. Everyone does broad generalizations about other people based on more or less unrelated information about them. Just yesterday someone here was getting upvoted for implying people driving lifted trucks are racists. It's the same logic at work there. It's othering. Us vs. them and so on. It may have been useful when we still lived in tribes but doesn't quite work with how society is today.
