Often, they collect personal details and have no healthy \nserious competition : Twitter, Facebook, Google, Nextdoor. Linkedin has surprisingly been a conflict free zone. It’s mob rule everywhere else.

Will this lead to a homogeneous society? Is it time to quit the righteous social media?

The world is now divided into right vs righteous. I can’t stand it anymore. I am tired of hearing just one narrative.

I guess my question is...where are we going? Adults in public spaces are acting like kindergarten kids telling on neighbors, co-workers, bosses and anyone they perceive as ‘the other’.

For now, the liberal/progressive side is the rule maker. It won’t take long to flip to the other side. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. So this is a dangerous trend.","time":1603758697,"title":"Ask HN: Social media disabling dissenting views","type":"story"}],[24902874,{"by":"nyquistr8","descendants":0,"id":24902874,"kids":[24903232],"score":2,"text":"TLDR: Are you willing to rewrite a pg essay in your own style?\nGoal is parallel style corpus for authorship obfuscation tools.

PG on Twitter today: "writers are leaving a damning trail that they don't realize they're leaving. This text is going to be around forever for software to analyze." [1]

People must be free to speak anonymously, without retaliation from monopolist employers.

Authorship obfuscation is currently weak. Research could be improved by building parallel corpus with single target style, many source styles. Diversity of source styles likely important.

This is not much work for a big crowd.
