That's an obvious fallacy. That you encountered a bad therapist only proves existence of bad therapists, and nothing about existence of good therapists. At least some anecdotal evidence of existence of good therapists exists.

Accidents and malpractice exists in all fields of medicine.

There is, unfortunately, a substantial difference in the view of general public on different medical fields.

For example, it is considered normal that one's bone may become broken, and may need the help of a surgeon. Consequently, people are generally considering the possibility of going to one. That makes evaluating performance of surgical wards, and uprooting malpractice part of public debate.

In spite of wealth of evidence to the contrary there is a widely held opinion that going to a psychiatric ward is something that 'can't happen to a decent person'. People are about as enamored with thinking about psychiatric ward as they are with thinking about death. With that many institutions evade scrutiny, and institutions known for malpractice persist in many places.

When in medical emergency reviewing performance of medical institutions that might potentially provide relevant care is not something people want or can do.

Unfortunately, past performance of some institutions certainly warrants exactly that. :ablobcatcry:

Seriously?

Sure, the monetary incentives are against helping the patient, as in all medicine. :ablobdizzy:

Some therapists are great, some do the job, and some are terrible. I do not have the numbers so I don't know how much of each.

However, if your bone is broken you go see a surgeon, it does not right itself.

If your mind is broken you got see a therapist or a psychiatrist, it does not right itself. :abunhd:

@sun@shitposter.world @anemone@ebiverse.social He means that the bazaar of users getting software directly from developers or their distributor of choice should be replaced by people getting software exclusively from his store. :neocat_flop:

@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org @dansup@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io That's only tooling for admins. What tooling is there for users? :blobcatnotlikethis:

@Moon@shitposter.club @cjd@pkteerium.xyz No they promote fake articles https://www.theverge.com/23753963/google-seo-shopify-small-business-ai

It's not clear why, though.

I suppose it might be something like they have an (AI) algorithm, and people reverse-engineer how it works to some extent, and provide content that does not necessarily make sense but makes the algorithm to give them higher ranking, and then they train event AI to generate such content.

The result is AI talking to AI, and the need for people to find some other place to look for information.

@dansup@mastodon.social When it comes to federated video site there always comes up the obvious question: where would the videos be stored?

While a typical Mastodon server can use some of the tiniest VPSes you can count the number of videos you can store on such VPS on your fingers. :ablobcatpopcorn:
