This happens on decentralized social media, too. Fedi dwellers are all so convinced that the trolls wouldn't have happened without intervention and man, is that not true.
Don't get me wrong, the corpos used that dynamic for profit, but they didn't invent it. Having been there before the algorithm, old forums, IRC and other protosocial spaces had very plump trolls, and so do federated, decentralized spaces when they reach critical mass.
The trolls definitely exist here, too, for sure. But my point was that centralized social media algorithmically pushes it on you. Facebook, for example, goes out of its way to find ragebait to show you, whereas here, the trolls have to post somewhere you're intentionally subscribed.
No arugment there. I'm not questioning that corpos make the issue deliberately worse as an engagement engine. That's a fact.
But a lot of people jump from there to assuming those patterns will just vanish without algorithmic intervention, and that's just not true, which can lead to a lot of disappointment when people move to other alternatives.
