My feed is already fine; no one is posting hateful politics on the group chats that I am in. The problem is that even if the hateful content doesn't reach me, it's still out there reaching other people. In the US, they ended up with stuff like the Capitol Insurrection. Here in Brazil, as we speak there are disgruntled "stop the steal" extremists blocking roads and calling for a military coup.
It's a social problem that's largely been created by technical solutions. To put simply, radicalization is a lot easier when you give every loon with an axe to grind both a megaphone, and an echo chamber to invite new recruits into.
Now, there are also problems with a world that doesn't give everyone access to 1:N broadcast media, but they are different problems.
Well, noise/signal ratio is rather a technical problem, which can be solved by technical means.
Wrong signal - is not a problem for society, in my always humble opinion. It’s a problem only for those who want bad things. Silence helps them, not the society.
because HN users in royal we strongly believes in an automated technocracy by means of evolutionarily derived information technology techniques. This is a pseudo-religion without a sound scientific basis. Which I have my faith with by the way.
