A paper model designer has created a simple tool about posting on Social Media based on an algorithm by Federico Cerioni. Paper model designer, Giuseppe Civitarese, known in the paper model community as Paperpino, has created a simple paper model as a guide for posting on social media. It might even be useful to us here at MetaFilter. The model is based on an algorithm created by italian communications and digital media consultant, Federico Cerioni.

While I appreciate the general idea here, I want it to go further. I wish it had more to say about how to decide whether or not you truly are informed/know your shit, or at least steps to take as you chip in your two cents to share with others where your pennies of knowledge have come from. It's easy to read an article and come away feeling confident, only later to find other sources that disprove your earlier idea. I also greatly appreciate it when posters include citations or an explanation of how they know what they know. In today's era of fake news, we need more detailed advice than just "get informed or shut the hell up."

Glove and Boots' custom response videos may come in handy when it's time to reply (pick "any platform" or perhaps eve "all responses" for MetaFilter).

I don't know what paper models are, or much about algorithms, I'm not on facebook, and I didn't click on any of those links, but there's no way this can work.

Not to be an asshole or anything, but in order to make any such determination, I would really need to understand said algorithm and I haven't seen anything to explain that in these links.
