Just finished Taria & Como for the #Playdate- an amazing physics-based platformer w/ an all-Black cast w/ characters who have disabilities and tics prominently & proudly addressed! So glad to see #indie #games represent a broader, #inclusive audience in ways AAA games fail to again & again. #gaming

this is what herding looks like in the world of information pastures
Beeindruckende Recherche: Die @washingtonpost.com hat eine Analyse von 121000 Videos auf TikTok durchgeführt & kommt zum Ergebnis, dass man eben sehr leicht vom Algorithmus in Nischen eingeteilt wird (und diese Nischen sehr fern von anderen Nischen liegen)
Und das Geschlecht spielt eine große Rolle
