Liking posts that criticise Western human rights failures have led me towards algorithms of pages that worship dictatorships. Tankie Marxists seem to garner a lot of attention within this “left wing” binary. It seems like there’s no such thing as social media politics that are nuanced anymore. I just want to protect myself from data collecting algorithms, stereotypes and assumptions.

    Yeah this is by design. Any interaction generates views and revenue and the more outraged you are the more likely you’ll interact; rinse and repeat. The only way out is to abandon social media platforms that have this algorithm that generates money based on your emotional reactions… Or just stop social media use all together.
