All the above is true. My own few experiences made me more curious, analytical, and open minded. All very good permanent changes.

Loved them. And I loved the whole post apocalyptic fires under huge caldroms feature about them. Best part of my trip to Georgia except for the cocaine.

Some folks have asked to see the video. I can’t share because I don’t want to entirely violate the subjects privacy. I’m being nosey and your answer makes sense. My question comes from a good place — I’m sorry to confirm there must be a health situation going on.

Here’s another image from same video.
I captured these from a video. It’s a person that I know did not have these on earlier videos. What’s this from?

So… wouldn’t I have to have an extra phone or device?
I’m pretty certain that even if I were to delete insta on my phone and reinstall it, there’s going to be traces of my previous use? My identity?

I’m likely not unplugged enough to “grok” this entirely.
But the reminder to completely unplug is valuable. Thank you.
Not exactly sure how to articulate this. My instagram shorts feed feels completely Sci-Fi level manipulative and conditioning. And I realize that in some ways, I have programmed it. So it makes me wonder how others are programming and getting programmed by these super manipulative video feeds. Short of walking up to strangers and asking, “hey, can I compare your feed to mine?” What can someone do to get a more Birds Eye view of what this cancerous infection instagram is doing to society?

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

I popped off of mobile to reply to this but I do not believe that even on a keyboard I will be able to express my gratitude for your thoroughness, reason, and wisdom here.
Yes -- turns out I have a pretty sweet gig and I want to keep it.
Your points reminded me that before Reddit imploded, I had an assignment that I agonized over for many of your excellent points here. The previous president of our school applauded me for teaching A Clockwork Orange. Academic Freedom and all that. But we have a new president and I just don't want to risk it. In fact, my reddit assignment was tied specifically to: r/TIL. That was it. I had huge warnings about traveling beyond that sub.
As I read your contribution here, I was stunned that I had just "gone native." I personally just avoid the ugly on Lemmy and do not even notice it or react to it.
The short version here is this: thanks for your kind and erudite wake up call. WTF was I thinking? I did one term use Lemmy in an assignment where I created kind of a private group called: our class or something like that. Ostensibly this was just where we could reach out to one another to discuss class topics... but the shadow agenda was moving people off corporations and onto the Fediverse. It's so frustrating that they do not care about privacy or anonymity. Oh -- when I had them all try to create accounts in class, we ran into an IP blocker likely created to stop briganding or something.
Anyway -- I'll keep thinking about this -- maybe find a more gradual way to introduce elements of the fediverse... like TIL videos or something to begin.
Okay Lemmy Champions… I want to spread the news and increase participation. What do you think about requiring an assignment in which college level comp students need to practice critical thinking skills in the subs of their choice at Lenny? What suggestions would you make relating to each an assignment? What negative unforeseen consequences am I not seeing? Thank you.Very
