    the upcoming change is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content

    “edgy” is the word you’re going with, huh?

      right, because loving Hitler and being super-into fascism and genocide is just considered “edgy” nowadays…

      My theory is that it gives Elmo a way to promote authoritarian and anti-LGBT tweets without making it obvious that the algorithm is politically based to align with the platform owner’s views.

    I’m excited for them to fuck it up and leave them vulnerable and I expect to see some very telling like changes over the couple days after they roll this out

    for fans of the electoral college! Nice! Modern! Exciting!

    Trying to make shitty opinions appear to be more prominent than they are is exactly the sad type of gymnastics I expect from these types

    great comedy, awful reality
