Social media can support or undermine democracy — it comes down to how it’s designed: Platform design is a silent pilot steering human behavior. (www.niemanlab.org)

Interesting that Lemmy fails all the democracy supporting social media guidelines

Yep

It is a design choice to offer a news feed that combines verified news sources with tankie memes — interspersed with photos generated by AI

I've really tried to provide tools to tame the meme flood and put them into effect on https://piefed.social/ - compare that with the front-page (or All feed) of any Lemmy instance (or most PieFed instances, to be fair).

Gen AI filter is coming.
