Water seeks its own level.
The 0.01% that remain generally aren’t enough to thrive to the point of reinfection before naturally dying off. There’s usually too few organisms left to do anything.
Is your argument that “There’s misinformation everywhere, so I should just get it from an algorithm that’s so good that I only really see what I want to see.”?
Because if so, you’ve already ended your argument, whether you realize it or not.
They stated their point in the last sentence: “Its algorithm makes it really easy to fall into an echo chamber.” Did you read their comment?
Yeah, mainly for 18-24 year old demographic, most of whom don’t seem to care much about the news, anyway. Interest in news generally seems to increase with age, though neither of these two statements is strictly true.

I agree that there’s a currenct hard push for massive enshittification, so I think we’d better be ready and able to 1) embrace federation, 2) advance it to a degree that BigTech can’t keep up with (FTL speed), 3) pay actual money for it ourselves to ourselves, and 4) do what we must to enshrine anti-enshittification systems into the fabric of this new direction of online society.
Thank you.
I like the top and middle ones, in that order.
I remember accidentally breaking my parent’s computer
loool that was me! I was kind of fortunate that they didn't use it all that much, but installing something like LiteStep or AfterStep, that would completely hide all everything but the background was fun.
I still remember how cool I thought I was figuring out how to add an extra 32 MB of EDO ram into that 750 lb TWO GB (2!!) HP (back when the full name was printed on the case) Win95 desktop. It wasn't until I went to the community college and saw the weird X cursor on the lab terminals that I asked the techs what it was, and a week later I had my first distro, Linux Mandrake, installed on a now-partitioned hdd.
I miss my grandfather teaching me the basics of DOS 2.0 on his dual-floppy IBM. Those were simpler days, and those were the golden days. The greybeards knew what was up then, just as many today still do.
I'm off to re-read the legendary tales of the BOFH.
If I said over a million users on each platform, what would you do to prove me wrong?
