De-Escalating Social Media
-
Love the idea. Making errors is human. I have distrust for people who never admit being wrong. They are just wrong sometimes, as anyone else, they are just unwilling to admit it.
This would be an easy way to parse of a person have admitted being wrong more or less times.

I need to talk about the Mario thing. The first time we heard him speak was N64, when he said "It's a me, Mario," with an accent that is clearly not from New York or New Jersey. And now he's all of a sudden not Italian?
-
I heard "Hot pickle!" in a completely unrecognizable accent and have been confused ever since. Was it Mario that said that? Lakitu? Whose voice is that if not Mario's and if it is Mario... What the hell? Lol
He says it when you select a level to play.
Right. Listen. Next time I get an emulator going, right, if Mario says "Hot pickle!" And i can't unhear it, I'm gonna come for you.
-
It seems like it should be unnecessary, like we already have ways of conveying this sentiment, so why have a button with such a narrow function?
But on the other hand, making it normal for people to admit their mistakes online? That would be a huge step forward. And if there's a button there for it, it would get used.
It could be a hint to the algorithm to stop pushing the content because you wouldn't want something incorrect circulating. But then people may not want to use it but also those people would be the same ones who are happy to lie in a viral tweet.

Haha! I'm so sorry. Plz don't hurt me lol
Also, you gotta let me know what you hear when you get around to it! I'm very curious. -
I heard "Green Needle".
Huh, that's an interesting one. I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing something weird.

It does very much annoy me that, yeah, its always been possible to do this.
I believe Claim A! Claim A deniers are bad, smell bad, and are probably also demons!
EDIT:
Welp, looks like Claim A is dubious, thanks to user so and so for setting me straight, see their explanation below.Yeah you have always been able to do that or something very close to it on basically every forum or social media type thing ever.
But... you are probably right that if you give people a mea culpa flag as a built in part of the UI/UX, that would almost certainly spur more people to do it.
... Its still terrifying to me that a large segment of people would need such a button to exist before they would be ok doing it.
I guess this isn't a case where the sort of 'desire path' solution manifests and is then maybe formally adopted, seems like you'd have to basically social engineer humility into people.
I hate that this would probably work, in the sense that it isn't just DUH obvious to everyone already that they don't need a button specifically for this, but I also love that this would probably work.
I can imagine a 'year end wrap up' where you get to see all the stuff you said that you decided was stupid.
Then I guess just pair it with some kind of affirmative message of 'hey, you're trying to admit your mistakes, and that's probably good'.
Its less deceptive than trying to delete shit dumb stuff, as... everyone can still see you did say it, but realized it was bad.

My only question is if piefed fixed client side ghost editing.
-
Some don't even use it.
-
Ha, I used to love this show as a kid, so thanks for that. Felt like a fever dream.
-
That's interesting, apparently false, itsumi means something else that I forgot in the time it took me to swipe back over to Lemmy here, but I do like the line of thinking.
Well it's obvious, Mario is the name, Itsumi the surname.

Is this like an ADHD subject jump, or...?

one reason people don't admit they are wrong is because other people will shame and attack them for being wrong.
admitting you were wrong isn't consequence free. it's shameful, bad, and weak and others want to punish you for it. hence why people are incentivized to never admit they are wrong... because that often avoids those consequences and a lot of people admire someone who never admits they are wrong as strong and good and they are inspired by it.

No, honest inquiry.
-
We also need a button like "This does not reflect who I am as a person"
Like a "I don't endorse this, but I want you to see it" post? I'm all for that.

The extra
bwas half in jest, but yeah. I was actually surprised at first to find out "mobb" with two bs is an actual word. -
How is it related?

Green Needle/Brainstorm is a different sound. It was from a McDonalds toy.
