a friend of yours had a reaction to something so you might be interested in it too.

try to mute angry reactions

algorithms appeal to human nature - amplify things you are interested in - people are interested in things that upset them - it this too impactful - should we make it so there is no algorithm - just let people share what they share and find what they find and just let stuff exist.

  • started this way when there was not technoology to rank stuff
  • when you dont rank stuff the system gets "gamed" in other ways
    • e.g., most recent at the top
    • makes people post a lot
    • miss obviously really important stuff
      • e.g., sibilings getting married etc
        • this would get lots of reactions so this would be ranked higher

could just limit number of posts

  • rank based on quality of posts etc

ability to control the flow of information

  • company run by human beings that have the ability to to decide what is shown and supressed.
  • this concerns a lot of people
