Commercial website feed shaping algorithm:
They decide what you think about and don’t know.
Lemmy feed shaper:
Fediverse feed shaper lacks a defined topic hierarchy for accurate content tagging (of instances, communities, posts, replies, users) by users, preferably with web of trust between taggers.
Quora had a precise topic taxonomy until 2023 or so - my feed was excellent (except for some spam, because no web of trust). Then the remaining co-founder enshittified it, filling my feed with viral click-hits.

Something should be said about fringe servers (I’d never say “instance” except “server = instance”) and defederation both ways being common, so your home server choice matters. The email comparison is broken and should include “in principle” and then continue with “in practice [real situation]”. This is a start:
I like the yellow bubble here, but it’s inaccurate in many ways:
The infograph we’re looking for should also say at least:

When I lived in Taipei, Taiwan, there was a military exercise in that area with civilian curfew for a whole day. Finally the constant traffic roar went silent and I could keep my windows open and listen to birds and insects. A pleasant curfew.

How is AfD helping?
You’d think their natural human reason would emerge every once in a while, but no, they have developed a memeplex to keep it suppressed. “Hypocrisy is their secret handshake” helps me remember that they practice dishonesty and irrationality diligently.
That “holding down the CTRL key and clicking” thing without saying so in the interface is awful UX design.
I had a similar problem: I couldn’t comment in some communities - turned out the only allowed language was “undefined”, and I had defined “English”, which was the apparently used language there.

The data oligarchs now have makes it easy to kill political opponents with plausible deniability.
Increased blood lead level in children has been correlated with decreases in intelligence, nonverbal reasoning, short-term memory, attention, reading and arithmetic ability, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and social engagement. … The effect of lead on children’s cognitive abilities takes place at very low levels.
High blood lead levels in adults are also associated with decreases in cognitive performance and with psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety.
