Look at the recommendation algorithms of #BigSocial. They generally tune their algorithm to keep people on their platform for as long as possible. They’ve discovered that upset people tend to keep scrolling. So what do they do? Slip in a bunch of posts that are likely frustrating to you. If you’re a reasonable person, you might see a bunch of posts from fascists. If you’re a fascist, you might see a bunch of posts from marginalized people who, like everyone, deserve basic human rights. What does this lead to? A bunch of decent people being harassed by fascists. Why? Because of the #algorithm.
