that's where i'm split on it – the promise of the earlier internet was gaining exposure to wide varieties information and viewpoints. everyone expected and depended on the "marketplace of ideas" to reveal truths but it hasn't worked out that way. if anything, it's gone the other way in many cases. see things like flat-earthers and qanon where instead of faulty information being defeated in the open marketplace, it actually infects and confuses the more stable information in the general population bc everything occupies and intermingles with equal weight. it's also aggravated by bad actors who intentionally poison open network information for their own ends. and now the flood of empty generated content in terms of small closed networks, i'm thinking more like topic-based networks where it's easier to have clear community guidelines and norms. u see that on reddit (some are looser than others.) debates can still happen but there is also a community system in place that can downrank info poison

i've seen other ppl do this already – at least with bsky and mastodon comments. probably pretty easy to add in fc

i think the effect of all this slop is reducing everyone's standards. everyone is accepting very superficial content as sufficient because it's a quick and fast way to get the dopamine. a lot of younger ppl can't even make it through 1.5hr films anymore. they want the experience but they don't want the journey. slop gives them the illusion of the experience and deprives them of the journey

more and more, i'm leaning towards smaller closed networks. the other part of borges' library of babel story is the emergence of things like cults because of all the faulty information much like how monolith social networks today fan the flames of disinformation, conspiracy theories, etc. and no consensus on shared reality can ever be reached again

it feels like it's accelerated a lot lately. or maybe it's just the ongoing pile up. i'm trying to write something about this feeling in a blog but it's demotivating to even think about
