Danielle ForéIt’s so frustrating how every algorithmic social network is constantly trying to feed you right wing Christian conservative bullshit and you have to actively fight it. No matter how much leftist content I engage with, no matter how much I block and click “not interested”, it’s like an infection that keeps coming back
Number1SummerJam@danirabbit the people who run those companies are complicit in this. They want trump and the fascist party to win so that they and their corporations can get bigger tax breaks. They are using their algorithms to either force right wing content, pro voter apathy content, or not show politics at all. They are essentially manipulating votes to get their way.
CohenTheBlue@Number1SummerJam @danirabbit I think the reason is much more mundane - hate gets more clicks and the algorithm is very basic. It just pushes stuff that gets clicks and / or watch time. Previous history has much less weight. Gotta show those ads and harvest data.
