So, you’re suggesting that shadow banning has caused the rise of the alt-right and their conspiracy theories, which implies that they wouldn’t exist without shadow bans.

Or they already exist and are in such a fragile state that even an explicit ban makes them upset (which it does.)

Again, if you’re already that far down the rabbit hole, anything that tells you, “No, you’re wrong” is going to upset you. That includes a shadow ban, explicit ban, or somebody just telling you that you’re wrong.

If you think I’m wrong and you think shadow bans especially push people towards being alt-right and believing conspiracy theories, then I’d love to see a study that says so because that’s what would likely convince me.

I think a lot of people buy Macs because they think the only other choice is a computer running Windows.

Oh, this reminds me of the company I'm working for right now.

"You want this promotion? Great! You're qualified and we'll have you do this project first to see if you like this work."

"Really? I have almost no experience with this programming language, but okay!"

Does project

"Actually, you're not qualified enough. Sorry!"

A week later one of the devs on that team apologized for the situation (not that it was their fault at all.) But still, what BS that all was.

Because many more people are concerned with where their friends are and what’s cool.

Because they don’t care who owns what platform. They care that they’re different and only some of their friends are on one of them and not the other.
