Psychologists have identified hundreds of cognitive biases. A new paper recently released argues that they all come down to one of a handful of fundamental beliefs coupled with good old fashioned confirmation bias.
Are you aware of your own biases when you evaluate information online? 🤔

@npub1mw4…p6t6 Yeeting zip files onto an Apache server with FTP while in prod is where a generation of warrior souls were forged.

@npub1ydj…jkdn @npub108p…yev6 I was thinking more along the lines of connecting your own developer account to your instance (either personal or community).
Simply add your API credentials in the admin area and a share checkbox option shows up in the WYSIWYG editor with an option to cross-post to various profiles on platforms you have connected to.

@npub1ydj…jkdn @npub108p…yev6 I believe you can still pay for API on X. Minds is moving towards deeper Fediverse interoperability and Meta recently announced plans to do the same.
I guess I’m not as much of a purist as some. I see those other legacy platforms as a place to tease shorter / cleaner versions of long form content and ideas I ultimately house here, on my own instance and / or on my blog. If I get shut down on those platforms, I still have my main hub that I own and control.
Even though this is my hub, its not the only place I publish & share ideas exclusively, and certainly not where all of my audience and followers are.

@npub108p…yev6 I totally agree with that goal in the long term, but using those other platforms as a growth lever to raise awareness and drive traffic back to your social hub (and the Fedi in general) also makes a lot of sense in the short term.
The reality is… that’s still where the eyeballs are. 🤷
Normies are more easily sold on content syndication as well, so something you might reconsider at some point.

Maybe there is a solution I haven’t seen yet, but is there currently a way to cross post your updates on your #Pleroma (or Rebased) instance to other social networks (like X, Minds, etc…)?
Would be cool to be able to use your Fedi instance as a hub for all your social media updates.

@npub1mw4…p6t6 @npub1ce4…jufy @npub108p…yev6 Pretty sure anyone really invested in promoting hate these days are usually glowies or just young misguided autistic edgelords with no life, (trying to troll and get a reaction from people). I know some of that still exists, but a good cross section of what you see in the wild is one of those two.

@npub1ce4…jufy @npub108p…yev6 I remember registering on Poa.st when it first launched and not knowing anything about it, just checking it out. The FediStazi crowd quickly spread narratives that literal Nazi / Fash members were “endangering the lives of Trans and Marginalized POC”, so I stopped engaging with that instance and anyone on it out of fear of association.
Now there is some really heinous stuff that some have posted there (and other places), but the vast majority are just trolls making fun of control freak shitlibs.
The thing that concerns me more than shitposters and daft trolls is the chilling effect these far left Maoists wield over political discourse.
I’m all for supporting progressive causes and defending the marginalized, but 90% of the time the people screaming the loudest are rich affluent white liberals using these marginalized groups as a shield to weird power over their political enemies.

2023-09-13 21:19:26

I have friends on the left and the right ends of the political spectrum and can see value in both sides of the argument.
What I don’t have patience for is:
Lying / gaslighting around well documented facts
Attempting to censor others free speech just because you don’t agree with them
Labeling anything you don’t agree with as some imagined “ism” or “phobic” extension in an attempt to “other” said individual (Alinsky 101)
Being a hateful / scared little bitch who would happily use institutional power and weaponize it against political enemies
If you fall into any of these categories - we will never see eye to eye. You are the enemy of liberal democracy and more specifically - the constitutional republic that has facilitated the greatest improvement in quality of life in 10,000+ years of human history.

#Shitposter rights are human rights.

2023-09-13 06:35:52

How is @npub108p…yev6 on the #Fediblock list? Promoting blind censorship through universal block lists is more hateful and fascist than any of the people they are speaking out against.
Shitposters are among the most marginalized and disenfranchised group on the internet. Their rights have to be protected.
