Seven years later, Kyle’s argument is that AirSpace has turned into what he now calls Filterworld, a phrase he uses to describe how algorithmic recommendations have become one of the most dominating forces in culture, and as a result, have pushed society to converge on a kind of soulless sameness in its tastes.

I wonder if people who are new to Lemmy feel that loss of algorithm for most instances. It's probably the thing I like most about Lemmy, I don't have the sense of corporate showing me what they want me to see, but I could see how that would be a shock when you're so used to it from other platforms.
