People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.
the 2024 student encampments on college campuses had movement discipline and the state still beat them, tear gassed them, expelled them, and in some cases deported them

Thank fucking god in this case normies have much better sense then Bluesky groupthink.
This is a yikes too. He gets dogwalked by Susan Collins even though Generic Dem has a 9 pt margin.
What I find funny is that the median Maine voter sees his tattoo and comments about sexual assault as a non-starter but we had how many people defending that shit here on Bluesky?

This is the most thorough evisceration of armchair game design and online gamer groupthink I've ever seen
Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question:
"why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]"
It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good.

It's groupthink, but made especially dangerous because it's groupthink within a group that has forgotten that GROUPTHINK IS BAD. "Everyone knows this" becomes sufficient validation for an idea and an argument for ostracizing anyone who doesn't know it, which leads to most people adopting the idea.

AI as corrosive personalised groupthink.
“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”
AI Eroded Doctors’ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study
Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.

To me bluesky seems unusually prone to groupthink as a network, and I think it's a good public service to try to puncture that.
Yeah, I really think we as a society spend too much time debating the nuances of A- ideas vs. B+ ideas while the F ideas just go unchallenged.

The groupthink group hug means
It’s stifled every thought,
And dissent is not sought.
In groupthink's warm embrace,
No one steps out of line,
The herd’s mind holds the line.

It's often presented as a kind of conformity or groupthink to "trust the experts," but you do in fact need to do this to have a functioning society!
What is the alternative? Every person researches every single issue of public concern themselves?

Scientific insiders hold power for a reason. Cause they know shit. The idea that there is something wrong with our best and brightest holding power is how we get idiots who run our country into the ground. Absurd
Utterly psychotic. RFK's "unfounded beliefs and suspicions" are what separate him from legitimate critics of science and public health, he fucking lies all the time!
You can't say "he might have a point" about the parts you agree with and ignore everything else.
