as someone who is not a fan of Facebook but uses, I've got to admit I noticed they did something and I've been using the site more recently, and that it's better recently. Mainly, I've increased the number of news sites I 'like' and I'm getting my news much more through FB recently, I already used to 'unfollow' people who post worthless stuff frequently, so I'd guess my Timeline is at a good 'configuration' I've been tuning down my consumption of mainstream media greatly and have been following more `real`, `credible` journalism, as well as more 'community' content e.g.: friends bands, friends projects, local initiatives, fun/comedy pages that refutes backward thinking and political discussions relevant to my area of the world, this is also making me less engaged in, for example, Hacker News because I'm becoming less interested in US matters etc, so, I've got to say that my views on the Bad of Facebook are softening and I'm seeing some Good, although it feels a bit weird to say this :) Obviously it's not all flowers tho, as much as I may be getting 'bubbled', the same people that have views that I see as backwards are probably getting their own confirmation-bias version... |
