Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p>And I'll also note that amongst my reasons for not using Reddit much at all:</p><ul><li><p>The tools suck. Mod, posting, discussion, all of it. I've written about this for years. And at some point even my dim brain has come to realise that sites / services which <em>haven't</em> changed glaring deficiencies in all likelihood <strong>never will</strong>. (Hello, Google+, Ello, Diaspora*, ...)</p></li><li><p>The most active sub, /r/dredmorbius (and yeah, that's what my avatar here represents, something ... I really should change) ... has itself been both all-but-inactive and highly Reddit-critical for 5+ years now.</p></li><li><p>The discussions ... just aren't useful. Some subs are good for generating suggestions / surfacing content, but I've generally got much better ways of doing that now. Mostly traditional research methods: reading books, tracking down bibliographies and citations, that sort of thing.</p></li></ul><p>Uninformed / manipulative / abusive chatter ... <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/AintNobodyGotTimeForThat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AintNobodyGotTimeForThat</span></a> </p><p>(This from someone who's online presence dates to Usenet pre-Morris Worm.)</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reddit</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/RedditBlackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RedditBlackout</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/OnlineDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnlineDiscussion</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/TheHuntForClue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheHuntForClue</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Clue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Clue</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/SignalNoise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SignalNoise</span></a></p>
Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://social.alesan.io/profile/jec" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>jec</span></a></span> Yes, this is very much what I'm getting at.</p><p>There are some Mastodon tools you can use, more on that in a follow-up.</p><p>On the concept itself, earlier writings:</p><p><strong>Cheap Rejection as a Feature</strong></p><p>Builds the idea that <em>cheap</em> and <em>fast</em> no-gregats information rejection <em>is a feature</em> in an information-rich world:</p><blockquote><p>[M]ental models are not simply modeling devices, but information rejection tools. Borrowing from Clay Shirkey’s “It’s not information overload, it’s filter failure”, the world is a surprisingly information-rich space, and humans (or any other information-processing system, biological or otherwise) simply aren’t equipped to deal with more than a minuscule fraction of it. We aim for a useful fraction. It paints an incomplete, but useful picture.</p><p>Even a bad model has utility if it rejects information cheaply.</p></blockquote><p>&lt;<a href="https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/ab83b940180801391b0d002590d8e506" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/</span><span class="invisible">ab83b940180801391b0d002590d8e506</span></a></p><blockquote></blockquote><p><strong>Refutation of Metcalfe's Law revisited: network effects meet Sturgeon's Law</strong><br><a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/1yzvh3/refutation_of_metcalfes_law_revisited_network/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/c</span><span class="invisible">omments/1yzvh3/refutation_of_metcalfes_law_revisited_network/</span></a></p><p>On bullshit, S/N, craft, respect, and originality<br><a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/1sdvma/on_bullshit_sn_craft_respect_and_originality/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/c</span><span class="invisible">omments/1sdvma/on_bullshit_sn_craft_respect_and_originality/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/SignalNoise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SignalNoise</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Information" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Information</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/InformationOverload" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InformationOverload</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/CheapRejection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CheapRejection</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Models" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Models</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Satisficing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Satisficing</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/InformationTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InformationTheory</span></a></p>
