    Confirmation bias. You don’t see all the ones that are blocked. Deviations from that norm stand out.

    Also, you replied to the post, training the algorithm that you’ll engage with Mu$k spam, and even said his name. You now have your filters duking it out with the algorithm.

      There is no such algorithm on Lemmy

      Fair on the confirmation bias. I guess I should’ve said that I see this post every couple of weeks, even though I have a keyword filter blocking anything with the word “Musk” in the title.

      I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had much of a personalized algorithm, beyond a simple upvote/down vote system with older posts falling down the list. Comments might boost it in the Hot sorting maybe? I doubt the content of those comments matters much.
