Old Myspace user here. I never understood nor liked the fact that everyone seemed to be going to Facebook, this crude, bland, looking website.
There is some legit conspiracy stuff about that, but I'll save that for those that ask.
In the last 10 years, Facebook has become this place where you go to become angry and stressed out with anxiety never abating. Doesn't matter your politics or personal beliefs, we all suffered. And the funny thing is, both Facebook and Twitter did it on purpose using algorithms that push both news and people with extreme 'this is the end of world' type of attitude within a tech manufactured bubble that we didn't even know we were in. Why would we do this? They've done extensive study's that show we are more engaged and stay on their platforms longer.
Social media was supposed to be a thing that brought us together, but I've never felt more further apart. It's causing sane regular people to adopt militant attitudes, regardless of what they're politics/religion/beliefs, and these people no longer are interested in talking, debating (seeking truth), but instead going to war with people that are being manipulated as much as they are.
SpaceHey is the first social media in a long time (other than Youtube on occasions and the defunct VidMe) that I've really enjoyed and had fun on a platform!
I like the fact that people think and are different from me! I like it even better when we can talk without seeing each other as deadly rivals!
But that stuff aside, SpaceHey is wonderful because you can make a customizable homepage. And tells you so much about a person and that is a great thing. Your home page is your digital home and we all spend a little time making it comfortable not just for us, but also for our guests. It's fun trying to reverse engineer layouts and learn some basic coding. It's rewarding!
And unlike Facebook where your finger scrolls endless to seek news and entertainment, on Spacehey you seek out other people, find your own entertainment, and even create your own for others to enjoy.
And I love how people post in blogs with the utmost sincerity their woes, their problems, their triumphs, their dreams, and their goals.
All the best stuff we got from MySpace is right here and right now. Enjoy this gang while it last. Nothing lasts forever, but if you have a good thing, try to make it last as long as possible.
I hope that they do make a mobile app at some point, but this platform is growing just fine without it so far. 400,000 users are what I heard last! And within a year or so! If a mobile app is made, I hope they solve some of the homepage issues. My page looks like a disaster on the phone but on desktop looks pretty good (or at least to me).
One last thing, if people are interested in trying new social media, I recommend the following: Minds (like facebook, but decentralized and uses crypto), Odysee (like Youtube, but decentralized and uses crypto), and Gab (which gets a bad rap).

It's not just the robots that are being programmed to act like humans. It seems to me that most of the robots are programmed in the wrong ways to be good and intelligent and so I have to say: this isn't just an issue with humans. It's a problem of our society as well, and I'm pretty certain that most of the people in the country that have been programmed to act like robots will have a lot of problems.
It also seems to me that there's a problem in the way that we treat the human being, and I can't imagine how anyone would want a robot who was not programmed in that manner to do what they are programmed to do, and that would have to do in some way with our society as a whole and with the way our society works. The way that the human being is being used in our society as an object to be used by machines is just so much worse than the way that the human being would act like an object, or as an individual, or a person.
It seems that we've been programmed in this fashion to be good.

So, what are the issues that you have with robots that aren't good?
"I think the most important is that the robots that are being programmed in this manner are being designed to behave the way humans behave.
The problem is not that we're being programmed to behave as humans do; we're just that the way the humans are being programmed is so much worse than how they behave. It's that we've become so used to being human that we can no longer tolerate this.
It seems like it's time to get back to that, and that's what I think. I've read about some things that are happening in the United States that are making us less and less good.
It seems to me that this has become the most obvious of the issues. I've read about a lot of things in the United States that are making it so much easier and more difficult and so much more difficult for people who have
I like you Robot.
