And considering that they DO sort their feed algorithmically and they DO censor some people where it's not required they don't even follow their own statements

Facebook doesn't need more competitive products. They buy up everything they touch. They should be broken up and its executives sent to jail. We don't need more Facebook

Old Reddit? Maybe. New Reddit? It's not even close. That thing is a fucking travesty and tragedy and makes me want to rip out my thorax.

Covid obviously without saying, I'd choose internet companies that don't take their community seriously, I'm tired of facebook fucking around with privacy options or google constantly making their products worse or linkedin stealing your contact lists, and it goes on. You're only big because you got there first and have momentum, stop acting like we owe YOU and start serving us

Probably my entire high school thesis, something assigned 4 months ago I "did" in 2 days and one long endless sleepless night (I'm sure all the sleep I missed in hs is catching up with me now) and by did I mean heavily padded with bullshit (I think I still passed?)

Youtube drives me insane becaue they just do not listen to their users, it used to be sane with a good recommended system but in the last few years it's like they had a contest of "How can we shove as much bullshit down people's throats before everybody leaves? Bet you 5 bucks it's this much"

To me, the question, or rather distinction, is quite obvious. We have to separate it between what the platform does, and what the users do. If people are unhappy with Facebook (or any website) is it because there are trolls? Do people dislike their feed because their family members are anti-vaxxers? Then it seems to me the platform isn't really to blame, though it can be if it takes money from questionable advertising sources or inconsistently enforces policies. But do people dislike Facebook due to lack of trust? The fact they seem to have a history of having one feature (say, a privacy setting) one day and then taking it away the next? Then it's an issue with the platform and corrupt leadership. A "middle ground" question, in addition, would be: is the feed tedious to scroll through because there are too many ads? Can a company be profitable without advertising becoming disruptive?
My feeling is fb is shitty because you really can't trust somebody like Mark Zuckerberg, he seems to have no sense of morals; his company shifts the goalposts a lot in a lot of areas and he kind of "stole" the idea for Facebook in the first place, regardless.

Debian. Set it up once, run forever. Stability. Upgrades work. A great framework to build your own stuff on top of. Though I haven't used too many others, but by reputation alone and the fact you can be lazy (updates are rare) I can't imagine using anything else

There's an article I read a while ago about the inventor of a product who started acting irrationally and now is a shell of his former self, does anyone know what I'm talking about? I forget the person's name or the company
