    An algorithm that actively attempts to keep me out of bubbles sounds like an algorithm that ensures I keep seeing bigoted opinions about people like me. I do think that there can be decent uses of algorithms, but I don’t think that corporate social media is going to provide it.

    I also think we have a serious problem of a lot of people want the algorithm. It’s extremely habit forming and mindless. Hell I much preferred it back in the early days to having to find new websites and all that. It just came with a massive price I wouldn’t’ve paid had I known.
