I did a test in the app, and it is pretty obvious you are posting the chat. You click share, then you are given a preview, and you have to hit post to actually post it publicly.

There’s a chance you’re overestimating a large percentage of the public.

Then should publishing always be disallowed on all platforms? I’m having trouble understanding how is what Facebook is doing any different from ChatGPT, and in general all web apps.

[mewpmewp2]

ChatGPT sharing is anonymous + you are also having to share the link itself, it doesn't randomly go to other people's feeds.

Oh that’s terrible, I didn’t get that part.

If a part of the population is dumb, the issue is that it’s dumb, not meta user interface.

I’m the first to bash on meta but there are things that they are not responsible for.

If you don't communicate at a level suitable for your audience, then you're not communicating. At best, you're just making noise. At worst, you're being a manipulative sack of shit. I do not believe Meta are in the noise-making business.

[TheOtherHobbes]

No, the issue is that Meta is weaponising that stupidity by breaching naive trust, and that's... stupid too. But for different reasons.

[acheron]

Life is tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid.

And then does it ask who you want to post it to, or to which app? Because that's a fairly common pattern when I "share" something on my phone.

Or does it just post it onto the public feed?
