Definitely a prosocial technology I see no potential downsides of widespread adoption and use of. 😬

I was a cheerful pleaser as a small child and the discovery that all of the prosocial values and messages I internalized from school and church and TV were lies and nobody meant any of it, well, I'm still mad about it and I will die mad about people's inability to just be good to each other
Now I want to know your childhood villain origin story. What radicalised you as a child? What filled you with a rage that lasted a lifetime?
please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood
mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street

Thank you for this prompt! I am dreaming about financial consequences that could be used as reparations to most-impacted communities. I ❤️ the idea of prosocial consequences. Trump, Miller, Musk, permanently barred from public life&paying my immigrant neighbors' rents and trans neighbors' HRT costs.

The bench is now gone.
Prosocial behaviour is easy to ban and crack down on - those doing it are in the open in their community.
And perversely, antisocial behaviour becomes more likely when you do so because public spaces become somewhere to flee.

I want to know what the council means by "antisocial behaviour," here, because I've got a shiny 50p that says it's teenagers sitting on the bench and chatting.

There's a naive optimism which is simultaneously cringeworthy and prosocial, like a cartoon tooth that's telling you to floss. Mr. Molar is right

Every politician known or found to be colluding with the GOP should be considered an active threat to national security as the stocastic terrorists they are & treated as such.

yeah I can see this. i look at where the people who control capital are ideologically and how they seem to understand themselves in the world, and it's very hard for me to see equilibrium prosocial behavior from a supplicant. this too is a kind of blob

Brazilians was essentially doing it collectively so people could keep each other on track, create collective joy and be strategic to game the algo but also harness the social dynamics of shunning/people wanting to be involved in the popular thing for prosocial ends.

I'm decidedly not in the "I don't know how to tell you you should care about other people" camp. It's defeatist bullshit. There are budgetary/quantitative arguments for so many prosocial positions, and it's okay to use them.
