OP
i have set myself a new rule for my internet life: DON'T USE ALGORITHMIC PLATFORMS.

you know, the highly personalized ones, which merge the user with the algorithm into a single cybernetic system.

the algorithms.... they hollow us out. they control us. they are directly hijacking system 1 of our brains. and it becomes even worse. as longer you use these plarforms, the stronger your habits will become. and the algorithms are also becoming stronger with every year. at one point, you are unable to articulate your interests, because the algorithm took it from you. it knows what you like, but yourself are unable to put it into words. run.

That is based. Everiot will never have voting system or personalized feeds.
this is why i started CHAOS SCROLLING. i scroll the unflitrered, raw, real time global feeds of mastodon, xcancel and nostr.

this is real randomness, not algorithmic pseudo randomness.

this way i find new stuff. although i must sift through alot of noise.

found this image today while chaos scrolling nostr.

no intent. no algo. pure randomness. this is what real accident is. if you are an obsessive chaos scroller, you are one of the 0,004%.

scrolling the unfiltered chaos of the internet is a technique only for the few.

and it is extremely addictive.

just found this while chaos scrolling. there is no need for algorithms. just scroll the raw feeds of the net. this is is the real deal.

My obsessive engagement with CHAOS SCROLLING has revealed this truth to me: even when we consciously reject algorithmic platforms, we still end up locking ourselves inside a bubble. Why? Because we all have our own "interests," "prejudices," "preferences," and "hobbies." Ultimately, we keep visiting the same websites, year after year, over and over again. In my case, one of them was /g/. There are no algorithms involved, yet the internet itself tempts us into this self-reinforcing behavior: I was on /g/ yesterday, so I’m on /g/ today, and that’s why I’ll be on /g/ tomorrow... Only chaos, pure, total randomness breaks this chain. That is why chaos scrolling, scrolling through global, raw, unfiltered feeds is so powerful. It breaks that chain.

Up until now, I’ve preferred 4chan over Reddit because it felt "more open." And yes, 4chan isn't as uniform or regimented as Reddit. But when you compare 4chan to CHAOS SCROLLING, it quickly becomes apparent that 4chan is also a total hivemind. I’ve come to understand what 4chan or specifically /g/ really is: it’s just another hivemind that allows for a bit more deviation, a bit more noise. But it doesn't compare to the freedom of chaos scrolling.
