Facebook recommendation algorithms have been shown over and over to lead users toward further and further into violent right wing content and user groups.

I use Twitter a lot and my opinion is that it is a complete free for all. Misinformation yes, reinforcing your bubble if you choose to, but also getting things outside your bubble if you choose to. Blasts of information from all over the spectrum, and you kind of get to chose your own adventure, as opposed to Facebook and YouTube where the only way to go is pretty much "more right-wing, more hateful, and more violent"

Huh, my Facebook feed is all about feminism, animal rights, and glurge. And I am not at all into that, but I guess many of my friends are, so that's what I am shown. I have a few "right wing" friends, but they are a minority, so I rarely get content like that.

It is just a bubble, it doesn't look like Facebook has any kind of bias, except to the best paying advertiser I guess.

It actually makes Facebook less "bubbly" for me. I get a variety of opinions that aren't mine, they are often controversial (controversy drives engagement), but rarely violent. Twitter and YouTube are much more targeted.

TIL "glurge". Glurge is the catch-all term for "inspirational" tales which purport to offer uplifting and timeless truths but — for various reasons (perhaps they carry Unfortunate Implications, they don't really make sense, or the work just isn't cut out for delivering morals) — are just a bit too hard to swallow. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Glurge

That's how I feel about most of what I see on linkedin. That and virtue signaling.
