Gregory's Server@mdstevens0612 you are right, “If the tool makes a task easier, the task will be repeated more often.” But why do you assume the users will use it in the negative and not in the positive way, now that there’s no algorithms to push the negativity?

@jonasnuts @wiredfire@mastodon.social @jurjen_heeck@mastodon.social @awarsing @Gargron @wiredfire @jurjen_heeck@mastodon.nl @twit_terrorist The issue is exacerbated by algorithms but the underlying cause doesn't go away because its a pattern of human behaviour; We are susceptible to negative engagement. We need to design systems to minimize negative engagement and increase positive engagement. I don't think QRTs are good for this. |
@jonasnuts
Why do you assume only positive usage?
Your quote also applies to the trolling so regularly associated with quotes on Twitter currently.
We say that people are the algorithm on Mastodon. People can push bad agendas. Mastodon has been insulated from that in part due to relatively small numbers of users. As that is growing so does the danger of pile-ons. Things went “viral” long before the algorithms got involved.
I maintain you can do all you mentioned previously without quotes
