  • Or just stay away from algorithmic social media, or maybe i mean ad-based for-profit algorithmic social media.

    Lemmy doesn’t seem to have a particular bent toward conflict the way that Facebook does (I know they’re different in a lot of ways). Bluesky doesn’t seem to have it, either, although we could still be in the “bait” phase before they “switch.”




  • I’m conflicted on this one because companies should be transparent, but the current quarterly requirements drive incredibly short sighted decisions aimed exclusively at pumping up the share price every 3 months.

    Publicly traded companies don’t plan more than like 3 years ahead because of this pressure.

    Dodge v Ford, eBay v Newmark, probably lots of other court decisions, all make share price the only thing that matters to a Board of Directors. Nothing about the workers. Nothing about the community. Nothing about the nation…

    Would this help? Not sure. But it would make the 3 month window less dominant.
