Recently on Thread, i was pondering upon the algorithm on the posts I see. It shows public posts of those similar interest to us, determining by "likes" we click on posts we see. It's great and easy to find people with similar interest, but it's also limiting exposure to people with similar mindset, values, worldview. It shows us what we want to see. In a way, it drives us to be more polarize, put us into our conform zone, and avoiding us to interact with those who opinionated differently with us (will this avoid people commenting harsh words on each other? I don't know..). Instead of connecting people, people grew apart.
But still, it was algorithm that let me become one of your dragon cave dwellers, I'm grateful for that I suppose?
And I’m grateful to have you too! ✨ Oh, that’s a great thought about limiting perspectives. I’m not an active Threads user so I can’t say much about it, but it probably traces your common pattern of interests & generates more on that to appear on your feeds. Heard they might also launch ads on Threads, I wonder how that’s gonna turn out. Will it overrides your interests or gives you more varieties to explore? Hmm.
