The number of people globally who initially access news through a website or app has dropped by 10 points since 2018, and younger groups prefer to access news through social media, search or mobile aggregators, according to a report released on Tuesday.
There’s sooooo much disinformation on TikTok, super worrying if younger generations are turning to there first for their news. It’s algorithm makes it really easy to fall into an echo chamber
There’s so much disinformation here. There’s so much disinformation on Reddit. There’s so much disinformation on Facebook. On Youtube. On Google. What’s your point?
The point is that you should get your news from real news websites that employ real journalists
Why not?
Is your argument that “There’s misinformation everywhere, so I should just get it from an algorithm that’s so good that I only really see what I want to see.”?
Because if so, you’ve already ended your argument, whether you realize it or not.
Oh cupcake. No, you’ve ended the discussion by calling it an argument and tipping your hand as to what you’re looking for. Thank you for showing me I’m dealing with an uneducated neckbeard looking to start fights.
Do not insult others when you have a disagreement, if you want to participate on beehaw, you have to be nice
How refreshing to see people getting called out for bad behavior. I am pretty new to Lemmy, is there a mechanism in Lemmy to treat repeat offenders? It probably is up to the instances, how is this treated on beehaw? Inform the admins?
For real. I read his last comment and thought “oh yeah, here we go. Another Wednesday on reddit”. I’m really happy to see moderation step in.
“Oh cupcake” lmao You’re very welcome, and do take care!
Like a pigeon playing chess.
They stated their point in the last sentence: “Its algorithm makes it really easy to fall into an echo chamber.” Did you read their comment?
The amount of horrible medical advice on tiktok is awful. It’s bad in a few places, but working in healthcare, i’ve never had to deal with as much “please do not take x or do y to try and treat your disease” as I did when tiktok became popular. I’ve seen lots of things that promoting lying to your physician, or ignoring medical advice in favor of advice of someone who recommends some other improper or unsafe thing instead. It’s insane.
