Liking posts that criticise Western human rights failures have led me towards algorithms of pages that worship dictatorships. Tankie Marxists seem to garner a lot of attention within this "left wing" binary. It seems like there's no such thing as social media politics that are nuanced anymore. I just want to protect myself from data collecting algorithms, stereotypes and assumptions.

Social media is giving morons, it doesn't matter the slightest their political affiliation, the illusion they have an audience. Them being morons is perfectly fine with me, but them starting to believe their opinion is meaningful to anyone but themselves? Not so much.
