Troubleshooting Life 279, October 5 - Be compassionate with others, but strict with yourself

Chris Nodder, UX, LinkedIn Post in 2021 after the Meta outage

Reader, I am compassionate with others about using social media, but strict with myself after I took myself off Meta years ago.

I have been much happier as a result.

How did you feel when this outage happened Oct 4, 2021, during those six hours?

Is Meta your “addictive social cloud” of sorts? What happens to an addict when they cannot get their fix?

Nodder, in Evil by Design, writes how “evil firms” exploit the platform's user data to cause conflict, or “create engagement,” and of course, the Cambridge-Analytica scandal. (wiki)

ACTION POINT: Be compassionate with others, but strict with yourself
