  • Eating disorders are a good example of how online spaces can spread mental illness like a virus. Individuals with ED’s often have this insatiable urge to post ED propaganda online, much like rabies makes it’s victims have the urge to bite people. It is how the virus perpetuates itself.

    Sometimes ED will arrive organically in an individual without digital exposure to it, but some people only acquire it because they literally fell down an online rabbit hole. Very similar to MAGA in terms of being a digital mind-virus




  • I had a 10+ year old account with like 1.5m karma get full stop banned for reasons behind my comprehension. I wasn’t doing any overt racism, misogyny, violent rabble rousing… Nothingworse than vehemently disagreeing with somebody and calling them an idiot or a clown.

    I only suspect I triggered a nerve which got me mass reported to an extent that I got caught in the dragnet. Being disagreeable was a ban worthy offensive maybe??

    Overly sensitive fuckwits with brittle feelings. I am the same ol’ dumbass I always was but the culture shifted towards “business casual” away from being more like “diet 4chan”

    Absolutely. Bio-chemistry, astrophysics, imaging, diagnostic testing…

    Everybody is stuck on how it can make text/video/pictures which is neat but not nearly as useful. This will just be used for porn/scams/ads overwhelmingly.

    However, parsing huge datasets and extrapolating impossible to detect patterns and subsequent correlation of seemingly unrelated phenomena is going to be lit 🔥
