MentalEdge@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are we being taught to love the panopticon?2·18 days agoFair.
It does make for a much more compelling allegory for society, as much like prison, it’s really hard to “exit” society.
While opting out of moderated social media is not difficult at all.

Oh wait.
And words have meaning. You can’t just point to their etymology and claim they can be used to refer to everything you consider slightly related.
The fact is, the word panopticon has very specific meaning, and specifically refers to prisons. And you didn’t even get it right. The original concept doesn’t involve constant surveillance, but the possibility of constant surveillance.
Otherwise every single room with someone wearing sunglasses in it, would be one, because you can’t tell whether that person might be looking at you at any given moment.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are we being taught to love the panopticon?14·18 days agoNo. It’s a prison.
Moderated social media is not a prison. Lemmy does not make your financial history public. It does not make your whatsapp, telegram or signal messages public. It does not point a camera at your physical body for all to view at all times.
A panopticon is a prison model where surveillance is possible at all times, and nothing is private.
Moderated social media, is not a prison, and is not mutually exclusive with 100% private conversation outside any given platform, between any two individuals, or within any given group of individuals.
The reason PUBLIC forums need to be moderated is that otherwise they devolve instead of develop conversation.
In the private sphere, the equivalent action taken to mediate conversation is the ability for you to simply stop conversing with a given individual, or for a group to ostracize individuals that sabotage discourse.
Once you reach a group of large enough size, ostracizing no longer works, and you individually blocking someone does not prevent them from derailing topics for everyone else.
