Usually anti-trans BS, when Ive made the mistake going to the comments there are extreme hate, like literally wanting death to people, saying its the end of the world etc.

Ive reported those posts several times but I just keep getting them.

World is scary.

Do you look at anything tangentially related? On Youtube after watching some DIY videos I got recommended right-wing crap.

Your cookies are developed to include anything you interact with, to include viewing or expanding comments. Some data mining software has the ability to detect how long you linger over content as well. So if that comment was within the readable portion of your screen, it logged it as something that interested you. Its not smart enough to know why it interested you. It just knows that you looked at the content for an extended period of time. Thats why I can type Tide Pods here and you end seeing an ad for Tide Pods. Fuck, Im going to see them now.

I mean, it's also Facebook. It's full of ragebait bots, boomers and right-wing zoomers. While not as bad as Xitter, Facebook can be pretty bad.

Anti-trans stuff gains engagement from both those who are anti-trans and those who are trans, so it is obviously something that facebook is going to promote by design (not intent necessarily) because it is gaining views.

I have always presumed it was because of social connections to anti-lgbt relatives.

Yeah, I've seen a massive up-tick in right-wing garbage as of late. Anti-lgbtq+ stuff for the most part. It's probably because I call out that shit if I know the person posting it.

Also, it's mostly recommended shit now, opposed to, you know, seeing things from people I've added.

Facebook is a goddamn sewer of bullshit as of late.

What depresses me is when I leave the bubble internet of gamefaqs and subreddits I like, and go into the comments section of the wider internet.

Jesus, the world really hates trans people, gay people and liberals.

All it takes is one engagement. I laughed at one golf meme (even though I have zero knowledge or interest in golf, it was just a basic meme anyone could understand) and suddenly my entire feed was GOLF GOLF GOLF OLD MAN STUFF

I've seen a lot of anti-rainbow comments on articles that are at least semi-related, but I can't say I've come across many posts where the posts themself are hateful. A few, but not many.

Facebook algorithm is garbage. Even worse than YouTube's, if that can be believed.

I watched one reel where they were cooking a steak. I expected, I dunno, fucking SOMETHING. But it was literally like a 15 second clip where they put a steak down, and then boom, mediocre steak. Now everytime I go on Facebook it's like "HEY BUDDY, you liked that steak video huh? That's what you wanna watch today? You wanna see some random fuckwad make a mediocre steak? Well here you go, weirdo."

Someone else links like anti-LGBT stuff as rage bait, and you interacted with that post. Commenting "zomg, what a waste of oxygen and I hope that hate-filled person implodes" means you, ironically, get more anti-LGBT rhetoric thrown at you.

This even happens on CE, lmao:

Facebook has always boosted right wing garbage, economic and social. Its done intentionally by their execs and because the algorithm notices that sort of outrage draws engagement.

They had an ad campaign to apologize for it, but dont think anything actually changed.

yes and no.
I don't see posts that are blatantly anti-lgbtq, but I do see tons of comments on random posts that will bring up lgbtq stuff.

like, in a guitar group I'm in, people were posting their guitars. it's a vintage group so good luck seeing pics that aren't "guitar hanging on wall" "guitar in open case" "guitar leaning against amp"
and yet, somehow, the comments devolved into weird anti-lgbtq rants, anti-michelle obama for some reason (like wtf, her and barrack are hardly in the public sphere anymore, they're like legacy politicians or something), and also pro-OJ simpson for some even weirder reason..
I do think it's a boomer + vintage instrument thing, since 99% of every other instrument groups I'm part of is generally pro-lgbtq since music is generally a more inclusive space.

Ive never interracted with those more than looking at the comments couple of times and reporting the posts couple of times.
