It's exhaustively well documented that they did this, I've linked to one reputable source a couple comments up.

(FWIW putting users in those categories into a walled garden where their content is only shown some similarly-minded users is a popular form of suppression and you, one of the users in question, would still see that content on your feed. This is what TikTok was caught doing. Anecdotal evidence and all that.)

So people who didn't want to see LGBTQ content didn't see it? Seems like the algorithm was doing it's job.

Glad to see you're up to your usual form, buddy. Keep on fighting the good fight.

I'm a simple person. I see rhetoric being passed as fact and I cannot help myself. I know, super popular, invited to every single party.

Nah, you just come into every interaction cloaked in a miasma of confrontational obstinance. It can be really tiring to deal with.

So you're saying I'm invited to your next party?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bud we're lemmy users. We don't get invited to parties, even ones thrown by other lemmy users.

Haha, fair enough
