    While I think this is un enforceable, I started to be careful what I click.

    Just one click can ruin my feed.

    And it is boring watch all the same stuff in the feed. I have many different interests, just put them all in there don’t focus only on the last one.

    I don’t understand why do they do it. Diverse content will engage me more.

      yes, it got to a point where i tried to game the algorithms once on one of these platforms to get the type of content i want and nothing else. instead it started showing me the most disturbing shit imaginable. i eventually started to report the content but the more i reported it the more of that shit it would show me like i was some kind of unpaid moderator they wouldn’t need to cover with PTSD bills.

      i have since moved on from algorithm-fueled platforms. i just do not understand the appeal of all the hate and bullshit it brings “for advertising engagement” that this whole bluesky fanbase is advertising like something good and useful.

        nothing will ever satisfy you people because you’ve already made up your minds about being xenophobic weirdos

        they could save the entire planet from an asteroid strike and you’d still probably go “okay but they only did it for show”

          Honestly the USA is going fucking insane and China is starting to look stable and rational by comparison.

          China is like “yes, we are predictably slightly evil” America wakes up every day, takes a fistfull of Hunter S Thompsons briefcase, snorts it and then hucks a dart at a D&D alignment chart.

          being xenophobic weirdos

          Found the wumao.

          The CCP and Chinese people are different things. No one is criticizing Chinese people.

            Yeah, it’s only comprised of millions and supported by the majority of Chinese people who, according to you white savior liberals, are too stupid and brainwashed to know better.

            You can’t even imagine that someone might not be mindlessly frothing in rage over everything China does isn’t a paid Chinese shill. Fuck off, you xenophobic weirdo.
