Criticising Social Control Media in Social Control Media
Take a hint, quit Reddit then:
A rational person (i.e. not the above) would take the hint and quit Social Control Media, i.e. abandon Reddit. One's very presence in Social Control Media is a liability. The presence presents more to lose than to gain, as stallmansupport.org found out this year. Around 2020 I came to the realisation that Pieter Hintjens had mentioned 4 years earlier - a point we last made earlier this year.
When Social Control Media runs low on "engagement" it starts getting manipulative, doing all sorts of malicious things like baiting, emotional harassment, even deploying bots (to give a false sense of popularity or to waste users' time dealing with fake accounts). Why would anyone willingly get into this? Heck, why even tolerate any existing experiences such as these? Many people are quitting Social Control Media (fewer of them announce this in public). They find that life gets more fulfilling and is perfectly OK without those things. One's importance cannot be objectively measured by someone else's "social graph" database (e.g. Zuckerberg's Facebook). █
