As users familiarize themselves with the group vocabulary, they identify more with that group, and more readily adopt language to fit shared social needs.” <a href="https://www.theverge.com/internet-culture/697406/algospeak-adam-aleksic-excerpt" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/internet-culture/</span><span class="invisible">697406/algospeak-adam-aleksic-excerpt</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Internet</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/4Chan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>4Chan</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/hate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hate</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>culture</span></a></p>
