I think it's part of a broader pattern of schismogenesis.
We define ourselves in opposition to the groups we dislike. So they are basically supporting everything we've considered as 'bad'.

Great feed, it's really useful to get all that in one easily accessible place!
I did notice the top few posts were some new type of spam that was seemingly designed to get into the feed. Few examples below. Interesting adaptation from the spammers heh.

So, a real QOL change here over places like twitter will be the capacity to label accounts that cold outreach with spammy scams rapidly, and then offer a mechanism for people to filter them automatically.

Yeah… We need to figure out a way to address this kinda stuff.
This isn't a new problem, just the same pattern in a different context.
What I find most difficult is how hard it is to have a conversation around these topics, because it always ends up with this kind of exchange:

The LSF uses a multi-capital framework to represent different types of value (social, human, natural and physical/financial capital).
Social capital (connections between people) and human capital (knowledge skills & health) tend to represent many types of value that are difficult to measure.

Value that cannot be measured is crucial to the resilience of modern society.
Col illustrates a general problem with governance. Institutions - governments and big corporations tend to ignore any kind of value they cannot easily measure.
I'll define the problem and how to think about solving it.

This one hits me in the feels. Lost mine more than 18 months ago now, and the first few months with "pet friends over the years" got me every time.
Never turned it off though, and now it's nice to see her again every now and then.
