This place that we’re in right now is not a bubble of AI lovers, it’s a bubble of AI haters.
Of course Lemmy is designed to feed engagement. If it wasn’t then it would lose engagement to other forms of social media. For example, now that I’ve responded to your comment you’re going to see a notification that will draw you back here.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying, the place here is a bubble of AI haters. Yet OP somehow is in it, even though they are an AI lover. They have not been fed “their” bubble, but get exposed to a different form of thinking than their own. That’s the opposite of what you said.
It’s a process. As long as there are new people showing up, or more rarely people who change their minds, there will always be some disequilibrium.
I was literally told in another thread on this same topic of “AI hate” that I should “leave this community, and not to return” because my views weren’t in alignment with the community’s. I don’t tend to pay attention to that sort of social pressure but other people do and the result is an ongoing filtering of participation.
Except that nobody is getting paid for engagement here, so that’s not “driving engagement” so much as it’s “a feature that people want”.
You can drive engagement without money changing hands.
That may be a secondary effect, but it’s neither the intention nor the goal of “reply notifications” on fediverse.
And frankly, I’m fine with that. More engagement here is less engagement elsewhere, where profits and data mining and surveillance are priorities.
But this is exactly the effect I’m pointing out. You say:
And you’re describing “here” in terms that are appealing to anti-AI sentiment and “elsewhere” as being the opposite. Whether the effect is “secondary” or not, it’s still an effect.
