That is whats I _always_ thought of as an _Echo Chamber_ -- a system designed to take advantage of human frailty, designed to entrap people and influence and shape the way they think and believe.
But maybe it _might_ be better to call this something else, a better more descriptive name for this system?
I _believe_ its called called a "Skinner's box" or what apparently Wikipedia calls a Operant conditioning chamber
🤷♂️ Just my $0.02 worth 😅

Okay... So @abucci @eaplmx and @justamoment ... Here's what I know and have experienced first-hand... -- When I worked at Facebook™ (now called Meta™ but still own and operate this horrible thing called "Facebook"), we had inside information on how the company (used to be, now just a product) "operate" and "function". The core idea behind Facebook was not about connecting people together (like they claim publicly), or to produce feed Internet services (like they did over in Africa and other poorer nations) -- No sir 😅 -- The whole point of Facebook™? Simple.
> To increase engagement.
How? Simple. Powerful (lots) of algorithms ate place build huge "graphs" of information about people, relationships and interactions. Huge powerful multi-Gigawatt sized data centres used to run massive machine learning models to "learn" and "understand" every aspect of its users base (you know, the same users that believe that Facebook™ was/is FREE 🤣)

I had to take today off work, because I ended up locking up my left shoulder and neck muscles so badly that I could not move without such terrible pain it put my to tears. I've had to end up taking some of my wife's strong pain killers and muscle relaxants over the past couple of days.
Let this be a lesson to anyone working in this (IT) industry, it is highly important that you watch out for RST (repetitive strain injury) -- And in my case (due to my vision impairment) it is important you avoid the use of laptops (of any kind) and stick to Desktops where you can sit more or less straight and not end up being lop-sided like I just did the past few weeks and caused my left shoulder to lock up quite badly 😢

@jlj I changed your email address on your @jlj Gitea account on my instance as I was basically getting undelievered email reports all the time. Feel free to amend this to a working email address, the crt-c club one doesn't work 😅

that's a great idea. I should build some open redirect websites and QR codes and place them around our cities to get people to be redirected to Yarn.social 😆
