Oh hi there person who I’ve upset by expressing my opinion who is now wanting to go back through my post history to find something to use against me! If you’re reading this, it’s because you’ve already lost the argument :)

    Dunno, have you made it/them not track your or something? What sites are you talking about, X, insta, etc or just X?

    I almost immediately notice when it determined that I am interested in a topic because all of a sudden I get almost overwhelmed with content to do with that. Youtube I’ve found takes it to the absolute extreme - search for something once and it thinks that’s your whole life haha

    You’re like one of the people who complains that all they see on X is porn, not knowing that what you’re saying is that you regularly searched for porn in the first place to the point where “the algorithm” learns that’s what they want to see so keeps feeding it to them.

    The rest of us have never seen any porn, or Nazi shit, on X.

    That’s no different to Reddit though, and it doesn’t work there. Everyone congregates on the “default” most populated subs/communities. Making a new one pretty much never works. It takes the previous one being closed or completely changed for any alternative to get any traction.

    In reality that’s not how mastodon or Lemmy or any other fediverse place work though, especially moderation wise. Your instances mods only control content on that instance, and you’re still at the mercy of the tyrannical mods on other instances. With the much smaller population on them, there are already “default” communities about topics that if/when you’re banned from them by some wannabe dictator ex-Reddit mod there’s nothing you can do, just the same as it was on Reddit.

    Privacy has been sold as one of the big benefits of the fediverse, like it or not. I just mentioned that it isn’t private at all.
