"I quit all social media about three years ago because of the hostility, disinformation, brain rot, and advertising."
"They say they havenβt settled on a business model yet, but it could involve ads based on peopleβs declared interests."
Hm. Good luck!

Hat sich das hier eigentlich schon herumgesprochen? Es gibt jetzt eine funktionierende BrΓΌcke zwischen #Bluesky und dem #Fediverse ( #Mastodon etc.). Durchaus noch holprig, aber im Prinzip geht's. Nennt sich #BridgyFed, gebaut von @snarfed.bsky.Bluesky Social

Nice review of the evidence for banning phones in schools. This reviews huge studies across numerous countries. The big takeaway: thereβs no effect on childrenβs outcomes. According to the latest evidence, cell phone bans donβt work.

We looked at all the recent evidence on mobile phone bans in schools β this is what we found
Our study suggests the evidence for banning mobile phones in schools is weak when you look at the impact on academic results, student wellbeing and cyberbullying.The Conversation
Former CEO of Twitter wanted to build a social protocol no-one can control, like SMTP or HTTP for social media. Blueskyβs ATProto was supposed to be an open source protocol that Twitter could eventually utilize, but then Musk happened and Bluesky started taking it to the wrong direction and everything fell apart in Dorseyβs mind.
A very revealing interview. I now see even more future in W3Cβs ActivityPub.

Die #SocialMedia Konzernfixierung meines Haussenders geht mir schon lange auf den Sack. Sie denken ihre News nicht zu Ende, sondern nur bis zum nΓ€chsten #Datensilo und kΓΌmmern sich nicht um die Konsequenzen ihres Handelns. Und wenn nicht einmal der Hausexperte #JΓΆrgSchieb im #Fediverse zu finden ist, ist auch irgendwie klar wie weit die Expertise reicht... WofΓΌr genau, hΓ€lt sich die ARD eigentlich eine #Mastodon Instanz?

This is a great article by professor Nir Eisikovits, but I think he could have dove deeper. Agreed that media literacy is a problem, but I think it's more pervasive than people consuming "news" through social media, rather the question becomes: Why did people turn to social media to consume news? That question is at the core of the problem of media literacy and critical thinking in the U.S.

TikTok fears point to larger problem: Poor media literacy in the social media age
If the US wants to protect young people from misinformation and foreign influence, focusing on TikTok is barking up the wrong tree.The Conversation
"Influencer marketing has become big business on #TikTok and #Instagram, where popular creators can make good money by helping brands promote their stuff. Now, #LinkedIn wants in the game...Its product, called Thought Leader ads, launched in a limited capacity last year."
Corporate social media is overrun by "influencers" who say great things about the free stuff that the get from other companies. They hawk the warez of others to keep on the good side of companies to keep getting free stuff.
"Thought Leaders" are unnecessary, why do we need someone to lead our thoughts? Who are these egotistical people who think that they can lead our thoughts? If you specialize in an area, stop trying to be a thought leader and be a contributor and a collaborator.
I'm so glad the #Fediverse doesn't have MAU targets or advertising sales targets to meet. I am so happy that we are free of those shills on corporate social media.
