    Just in time for the election, Facebook will now be pushing groups that people are not part of into people's newsfeed. This is a form of a recommendation algorithm and will not promote some mythical fuzzy "community"—just more in-group/out-group strife. https://about.fb.com/news/2020/10/supporting-online-communities/ …pic.twitter.com/N1V3LXQ6WB

        Ban the word! It was annoying enough when Mark Zuckberg would go on and on about the "Facebook community". But it's now 2020. Amazing that all those smart Facebook employees don't just scream at the word. (Yes, yes, the salary is good and that's how a brain works).

        Earlier of piece of mine that touches upon the misleading use of the word "community" that often dominates the way Facebook talks about itself. Communities have reciprocal rights and responsibilities. Facebook groups are in-group/out-group strife engines. https://www.wired.com/story/why-zuckerberg-15-year-apology-tour-hasnt-fixed-facebook/ …pic.twitter.com/4B85AegiBk

        Let me guess, the recommendation algorithm says most people need more stories from the Facebook Fan Club

        It is a topic of current research whether connection *per se* leads to clumping/polarization. Algorithms have the effect of distorting the clumping/polarization. This is an open question: the basic premise of Facebook, that more connection is better, is false.

        They are trying to kill whatever is left of discussion forums outside of Facebook. This will even threaten Twitter. I hate what they’ve done to change the wide variety of the landscape of the internet and pull everyone into their walled garden. They MUST be stopped!

        Amazing that they couldn’t even wait a month for the US election before doing this. Truly an organisation that sees itself as existing in a parallel world where nothing else matters.

        I see your point, although I don't mind that for me personally (up to a certain point) as I find living an echo chamber to be crazy-making. I guess for those who LIKE living in an echo chamber, hearing other points of view is going to be crazy-making for them!
