Conversational Junk Food

It recently dawned on me, the need for a soapbox forum that aspires with the intention of accuracy of facts. Facebook started as a great place to keep in touch with long lost friends and family, to share pictures, and such.

For a primary source of news that is true, not so much! It's like "conversational junk food"! It may taste sweet, as one is enveloped in a self reinforced echo chamber of consensus, and the algorithms can  exacerbate  skewed perceptions, for the sake of continued engagement. Bots bait, antagonistically toward that same end, but this is not a nutritional information diet!

Upon an AI search query, I have been informed that a majority of users recognize a routine volume of misinformation appears regularly in the data feed, though a disturbing percentage of users, particularly younger people, trust such social media entities as their primary source of information!

Whenever I would take the bait, challenge the more absurd, the better I could dispute with well put  rational arguments, the greater the deafening silence! That became my measurement if success, never knowing for sure if it was that, or effective shadow banning, on controversial contentions!

Needless to say, I am compelled, and glad to be here, to check out something new, perhaps! It seems to aspire to discourse with better "nutritional value", so I am thankful for the opportunity to see if it can work, and I wish us all the best of luck, to the destination of "Further"! ✅😀
