The #facebook algorithm is dangerous. I received an email for an old facebook account that I haven't used for years that used to be used just to post local community groups with functional information about public transport (road closures, route diversions, new timetables/fares etc, really riviting stuff - designed to be functional and practical - never engaged in discussions) So as someone who is interested in public transport but hasn't been around for a while they have decided to think I might want to join... (for context, I have never heard of Duston, it may be lovely, and I am not depressed or shown any interest in depression websites). #socialmedia #antiAlgorithm #algorithm
