Today's web is the opposite of what early Internet utopians had in mind. Now the situation is somewhat similar to climate change: even committed activists can no longer turn the tide for the better. (lemmy.world)

I feel like it's still mostly fine for individuals who are savvy and know where to look. In summation, though, I think the abundance of mis/disinformation spammed on social media combined with a lack of media literacy is socially corrosive.

Social media is a huge part of the problem..

Stop using social media and 90% of the internets issues stop affecting you.

Search is still fucked tho

Hopefully we can use AI to filter out AI articles at some point in the future lol. Or at least find better sources using Search.
