I love #travel #gaming and #karaoke - I am a recovering #businessowner that also loves #sysadmin #infosec #writing and being an #author I'm a #dudeist, #secularhumanist, and a #veteran I work on #seo in #webdesign in #wordpress as well. You'll most likely find me on the #westCoast #losangeles #antelopevalley and playing an #MMORPG like #GW2 or #teso for fun. #fedi22

Oh here's another: Political Effects of X's Feed Algorithm

Pdf link on the page.
Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared with those remaining on a chronological feed, whereas switching the feed setting in the opposite direction, from algorithmic to chronological, had no effect.
