如何应对社交媒体中的负面偏见
简单来说,社交媒体中的负面偏见是指社交媒体算法倾向于推广负面内容,因为人类更容易被负面信息吸引。这似乎是对当前世界问题的一种看法。如果我们主要推广负面内容,就很难在大规模上协调积极的发展。
另一个方面是,社交媒体公司本质上出于盈利动机而被驱动走上这条道路。也许,任何一个最为激进追求利润的公司最终都会占据主导地位。
所以我想知道你对此有什么看法?对于任何有能力产生影响的人来说,有哪些可行的策略可以将这一趋势引导到另一个方向?
此外,去中心化的社交媒体协议能否随着时间的推移产生影响?

Simply put, negativity bias in social media is the tendency for social media algorithms to promote negative content, simply because humans tend to more easily get drawn towards negative information.<p>This seems like one perspective of what is currently wrong with the world. If we primarily promote negativity we are making it very hard to coordinate around positive developments at scale.<p>Another aspect of this is that by their nature social media companies are inherently driven down this path for the sake of profit motive. And perhaps whatever company pursues profit most ferociously will end up dominating.<p>So I wonder what your ideas are here? What are viable strategies for any particular person with some ability to make an impact to steer the trend into another direction here?<p>Also, can decentralised social media protocols make a difference over time?
