I sometimes forgot the far-right/q-anon movement is thanks to facebook and youtube algorithms.

Won’t work. The recommendation algorithms have been designed to maximize engagement. Anger is the most effective way to engage people, so they will always end up recommending far-right shit again.

It’s definitely annoying having to constantly correct “drift”, but at the same time it’s SO MUCH less mental load than the “traditional ways” of deprogramming. I’m hopeful that (eventually) with good precision filter keywords and blocked profiles they’ll start to engage with more sensible content more and the algo will track from there
