You realise there is no algorithm behind Lemmy, right? You aren't being shoved controversial polarizing content subliminally here. The worst of Lemmy is a certain instance... That I have never heard from after defederation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] adriator@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago The worst of Lemmy is a certain instance... That I have never heard from after defederation. Yeah, defederating from Beehaw was definitely a great decision.

Of course there is. Even "sort by newest" is an algorithm, and the default view is more complicated than that. You aren't being shoved controversial polarizing content subliminally here.

The whole point of platforms like TikTok are the modern recommender systems that (simplified) lead to algorithmic radicalisation. Because these systems heavily optimise towards user engagement, they naturally spread misinformation and controversial content. And because this kind of content statistically gets more user engagement as people commend on it and spend more time with it, it spreads quicker. This has also e.g. been confirmed by a leaked internal Facebook memo. And additionally, these systems are personalised, so when you start to interact with it, you get more and more similar content. This leads to a radicalisation pipeline in which the platforms normalises these positions in echo chambers to you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] OftenWrong@startrek.website -5 points 2 years ago You're like the old people that yelled about rock music ruining the youth.
