5mins Lightning talk by Matthew Wise (mic is terrible but audio clips / notes below are good reminders / my take away points)
******************
My notes
- Facebook does a 100 unwanted or bad things measurably * at the same time as 'just' sending messages * @40secs
- FB are not optimising for accurate reality but what incites an emotional reaction and to keep you scrolling (engaged as engagement / tied up continuously)
How they can get you to stay on Facebook... (misleading focus, making people dumber / hedonistic as result?)
(- I Didn't like the stat $60 as maybe it's not clear or pulled from average... or I just don't know why I have feelings about any stats now and feel maths without knowing how maths was done just abusive stats and abused maths as it misrepresents well many things to falsely present a 'measurable' number!)
- Making things for friends but not always public... something within family? (private Mastodon?)
(Maybe maintenance issues with self-hosting or people don't want control so they give it to US BigTech to deal with even if abused?)
- Not complaining about Facebook or dragnet surveillance, Just simply doing things differently...
- Solution using RSS / Atom of WebFeeds- aggregating from websites so you can see them in central locations
(simple and robust existing thing / everything uses it already / Aaron Schwartz etc).

- Private blog + Feed reader = most of Facebook - is simply said and as equation clear (Haven software link above makes it clearer).
So basically like Mastodon maybe though more for own server blogging (guess it's micro-blogging here with a few people expanding that)
Basically like some of the 'newer' takes of what is usually bashing or emotional. Good to hear it again too a bit differently or even as reminder.
