Social Media Has Gone To Hell

This is from a Facebook group I'm in. The image that is being called fake news by Facebook bots is literally a fractal art image. It has nothing to do with anything other than fractals. Just got to wonder how messed up Facebook is going to get now that they fired a tone of humans and put a bloody AI in charge. It's getting ridiculous.

A friend has found a group that is posting photos and videos of hard core porn. Yet the AI has not once marked any of it as inappropriate and booted the group. She has flagged many of the images and photos and reported the group - so have many others. The group is still up and running. The AI does not care. Yet, fractal art gets dinged.

I got warned a while back about using "violent threats" and my comment was removed. Well, I had literally commented about a photo of a dog and how I liked it and would like to be able to afford a pet. That's it, no violence - but I got warned. I guess I should have posted a dick pick, so the bots would have ignored it FFS.

Social media is going to hell. Facebook being handed over to an AI is causing a hell of a lot of issues. X is self destructing due to it's owner opening his thoughts onto the platform and advertisers this saying "this is enough, we are gone", and the platform is bleeding advertisers. Soon X will have to be a paid only site to stay open. I'm already gone from it, as are almost everyone I know.

Instagram has the same issues with the Facebook AI moderating it. It is giving false hits on images and comments. Then when you flag something that violates TOS, nothing is ever done.

Between the AI's not being smart enough to do the job, and platforms running amuck with hate speech, social media is starting to not be so social at all. The best part about X, is it claims to be all about free speech. On it you can post all kinds of right wing hate and not get banned. But if you call someone cis gender, you run the risk of being banned from the platform. So is it free speech? Not at all, it's a platform that is heavily controlled by an ideology and freedom is only granted to those who conform.

Threads is gaining ground all the time and I'm loving it, but it's moderated by the Facebook AI, and it's only a matter of time that porn gets ignored and people start getting 30 bans for saying "I love your dress."

Honest to the Goddess, when social media first started up, things where simple and ran smooth, now it's a crap shoot at best. There have been a tone of small social media sites and platforms to pop up and vanish over the last few years, and there will be more. I think the glory days are over and we just have to hang in as long as we can before it's all gone totally to hell.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

My New Cuisinox Moka Pot

Image
1. My friend Earth sent me the Moka pot I had in my Amazon Wishlist. I'm very grateful to have it, as the old one died (seal went) and I could not get parts to fix it. I'm very happy to have this. I was going to get one next month, but it would have been 2 weeks until I could get one and that long without a nice strong mug of coffee is a horrible fate to say the least. The French press makes coffee, but it's very much NOT strong and lacks the rich flavor that comes out of the Moka pot. 2. There she is, it's bigger than the old one but is supposed to make the same amount of coffee (9 espresso cups). 3. Here it is with the water in the base like you are supposed to do. It does indeed hold slightly more water than the old one does. 4. Nicely filled with Lavazza Rosa coffee (espresso). You don't want to over-fill it, just a bit from the top and don't pack it too tight. I wish I had one of those whisk tools for this task, they tend to make it slightly better, as it t
