@sim yeah, i can't generalize that to be solely about normies. it was just the first thing which came to my mind :)

I'm a packrat. I still have conference handouts not in the procedings. With gems like this.

@sim yes!

> What can't normies handle with the uncertainty of the fediverse?

e.g. that people in the fringe internet (fedi, 4chan, etc.) can switch from dark humor to dead serious discussion and back in the blink of an eye and that the boundaries between the two are often blurry.
look at which comedians have success: it's those with non edgy jokes everyone can get and who don't really question status quo.

@sim i think all these ideas stem from a certain view on other humans (that most are too dumb and have stuff decided for then) that is fundamentally different from what at least i think is right (everyone is free to and has the duty to decide for themself).
if one follows the assumption that people are too dumb, we could as well just abolish democracy. that's what is even more infuriating about it, the people claiming to be poster boy democrats usually like to classify people as "too dumb".

@bonifartius Yeah, exactly. Who needs to engage in conversation when you have a button you can press instead? When you can judge people based on a rating system? Seems they want people to think about whether they trust posts... but I don't think they realise what atmosphere this will create and entice, that it will make some people more anxious and less trusting. I just hate how they have brought this problem to the fediverse when this is a problem for big tech. Even the fact that a lot of outcasts came here is the result of the failure of big tech who are taking similar measures that these people are.

@sim i don't think they thought about vulnerable people at all. their page says that the mission is to fight fake news, whatever that might be. there is no objective truth. better go full gonzo journalism. fedi might even be regarded as a big gonzo journalism platform.
i guess this view of the reality just isn't compatible with 99% of the people. iirc on gnujihad there was the observation that normies just can't handle the uncertainty of fediverse etc., i think this is correct.

@sim i think fediverse is the least toxic place i know, every attempt at voting or stuff like that is likely to have negative impact. "downvotes" are especially harmul because people just have to hit the dislike button instead of engaging in conversations. you can really see this everywhere downvotes exist. combined with an AI it seems like recipe for disaster.

Internet for students in schools? My school didn't even have enough money for CURTAINS in all classrooms and I graduated 2018
Air conditioning in schools? HAH LOL they already have windows, just freeze in winter, state ain't money for better Corona protection in schools. Oh and of course, in summers you just die of course

But German politicians are like - we need tablets for kids for education!!11!!1!

Oh, my school wasn't a countryside mini school btw., it was in the centre of a BIG city and also one of the MOST POPULAR schools of that city

Only private schools have a good equipment but my parents for example couldn't really afford it, also like, we're GERMANY, why are our schools stuck in the 19th century as if we were a 3rd world country?!

But yeah, internet for students' Smartphones/Laptops? Forget it, teachers would be against that anyways because they don't know that mobile internet exists anyways and that not having free WLAN is just classist again since rich kids will have their 10gb/month flats while I for example didn't have an internet flat until 11th grade AT ALL and then just 1.5gb/month
