"Enshittification is the inevitable result of high switching costs. Tech bosses are keenly attuned to opportunities to lock in their customers and users, because the harder is to leave a platform, the worse the platform can treat you – the more value it can rob you of – without risking your departure."
Interesting read:
"But platform users are a heterogeneous, lumpy mass. Different groups of users have different switching costs. An adult Facebook user of long tenure has more reasons to stay than a younger user: they have more complex social lives, with nonoverlapping social circles from high school, college, various jobs, affinity groups, and family. They are more likely to have a chronic illness, or to be caring for someone with chronic illness, and to be a member of a social media support group they value highly. They are more likely to be connected to practical communities, like little league carpool rotas.
That's the terrible irony of platform decay: the more value you get from a platform, the more cost that platform can extract, a cost denominated in your wellbeing, enjoyment and dignity."

I'm no longer shaddowban, I'm blocked from posting, or actually I can post, bit none of my posts are visible to anyone. No matter content.
It's the same with my repost of others, they are not showing up in my stream or main stream of TikTok.
Fascism silencing of anti Genocide voices is strong there, and even that is not enough for Americans and Israelis, they want to stop them completely.

"Officer Denny" - Wie dürfen sich Beamte in Sozialen Medien äußern?
Beamte unterstehen dem Neutralitätsgebot. Sie müssen Dienstliches und Privates strikt trennen. Was das für Social-Media-Kanäle bedeutet.#Medien #POLIZEI #BEHÖRDE #BEAMTE #Pressearbeit #SOCIALMEDIA

As if TikTok hasn't done enough to muzzle dissident voices specially those exposing the war crimes of Israel.
They want TikTok to be like IG or FB with right wing lunatics and Mossad agents running it.

So:
"Be kind, be honest and engage on your own terms. Walk away from anything that doesn't serve you and don't be afraid to craft a browsing experience that best suits you. A healthier web is one that's slower, friendly and serves you. Eschew things that make demands of you, insist or impose upon your time and attention."
A worthy read even though I do not _fully_ agree with everything in here, but probably I don't have to. 🙂

Social Media - Wie Algorithmen Rechtsextremismus begünstigen

Rechtsextremismus und Social Media: Wie Algorithmen manipulieren
#society #internet #socialmedia #health
This is the difficulty I have when I try to explain how the rapid transition from flip phones to smartphones with social media (and thousands of apps) changed childhood in harmful ways in the early 2010s. I repeatedly encounter some version of the criticism that social media is not intrinsically harmful to children because “it all depends on how kids are using it.” Many of these critics believe that we should not enforce even the current low and unenforced age limit of 13. Rather, we should help our 10-year-olds to manage Instagram, TikTok, and Snap in a better way, reading and posting healthier stuff. No! I mean, ok, that would be better than the current situation, but our kids would still have phone-based childhoods, the mental health crisis would continue to rage, and they’d still have difficulties making the transition to adulthood. The medium is the problem.
This means #Meta continues to take money from people blatantly advertising drugs on the platform while limiting the reach of reporting about that #content #moderation #failure. Instagram's Recommendation #Guidelines limit the reach of posts that "promotes the use of certain regulated products such as tobacco or vaping products, #adult products and services, or pharmaceutical drugs."
