Let's fucking go
The Facebook Files made – and provided evidence for – multiple allegations, including that Facebook was well aware of how toxic Instagram was for many teen girls; that Facebook has a "secret elite" list of people for whom Facebook's rules don't apply; that Facebook knew its revised algorithm was fueling rage; and that Facebook didn't do enough to stop anti-vax propaganda during Covid-19. Most damningly of all, The Facebook Files reported that all of these things were well known to senior executives, including Mark Zuckerberg.
It's clear which side Sorkin is taking. "I blame Facebook for January 6," he said last year. "Facebook has been, among other things, tuning its algorithm to promote the most divisive material possible. Because that is what will increase engagement ... There’s supposed to be a constant tension at Facebook between growth and integrity. There isn’t. It’s just growth."

Shame on them if they don't highlight the fediverse.

Post-Zuckerberg? I'm confused on the eras of Facebook I guess. He's still CEO isn't he? Wouldn't that make the whole history of the company the Zuckerberg era?

It’s probably referring to the era past when Zuckerberg was an up-and-coming CEO and was still doing a bunch of new things, and when almost all of social media growth revolved around Mark Zuckerberg. Now we’re in an era where he’s an establishment tech CEO. The stuff he does now is less about innovation and more about driving blind profits.

But at the same time in every case I described on Lemmy an experience not maximizing engagement by maximizing conflict, I was downvoted to hell's basement. Despite two of three modern social media experience models being too aimed for that, that'd be Facebook-like and Reddit-like, excluding Twitter-like (which is unfortunately vulnerable to bots). I mean, there's less conflict on fucking imageboards, those were at some point considered among most toxic places in the interwebs.
(Something-something Usenet-like namespaces instead of existing communities tied to instances, something-something identities too not tied to instances and being cryptographic, something-something subjective moderation (subscribing to moderation authorities you choose, would feel similar to joining a group, one can even have in the UI a few combinations of the same namespace and a few different moderation authorities for it), something-something a bigger role of client-side moderation (ignoring in the UI those people you don't like). Ideally what really gets removed and not propagated to anyone would be stuff like calls for mass murders, stolen credentials, gore, real rape and CP. The "posting to a namespace versus posting to an owned community" dichotomy is important. The latter causes a "capture the field" reaction from humans.)
