Deny it all you want, but this is a calling. You will become Indian; there's nothing you can do to stop it.

[-] ComradeRat@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

Facebook was convinced i needed to become an indian muslim tradwife for like a month last year. I still dont know what triggered it and what stopped it

[-] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

Perhaps what triggered it was that you need to become an Indian Muslim tradwife.

The truth is there for those with eyes to see it.

I am deeply confusing to the algo, it believes I am a muslim transwoman with children who regularly reqs feminine hygiene products and have a strong desire to visit Germany. As a cishet cracker, I have no idea where it got these ideas

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

"Hmm! This person sure seems to care a whole lot about feminism and the welfare of trans people and Palestinian children, and spends a significantly above average amount of time talking about 19th century German political philosophers. I think I know why!!!"

[-] TheFinalCapitalist@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

I guess when you put it that way i am very readable

[-] xijinpingist@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

Oh, that's not true. The hero can refuse to return and may prefer to stay in the land of adventure. Or refuse the call altogether and stay a farmboy on a forgotten desert planet.

what's a good indian place name pun on "carcinization"

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Phugginnnnn Carnaticization or something?

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Karnatakization?

Tech bros have spent trillions of dollars and created a global surveillance state to make us click ads and the ads are still mid at best

[-] ryepunk@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

Just stay off modern Reddit. If you must go there use old.reddit and you avoid the algorithm trying to feed you what it thinks you want.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

I would, but this website isn't as active as it once was and so I'm going back to the slop trough

[-] ryepunk@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Slop miners are a special breed comrade

are you absolutely sure you don't live in Ottapalam, Kerala?

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I did find it suspicious yesterday when I ordered a pizza and I got butter chicken with naan instead

[-] Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I used to think like that but then I realized that its because it doesn't know what to show you AND THATS A GOOD THING. You dont want these companies and their "algorithms" to track you and spy on you, so when they come back with random shit that makes no sense, it looks like its working. My feed is full of shit that I dont want and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

I just find it funny that it recommends me subreddits for towns with 60k users.

[-] CanYouFeelItMrKrabs@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Being recommended r/Chandigarh is incredibly funny and random lol

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

That's what I'm saying! I get the algorithm having little to no idea who I am and recommending useless subreddits, but a fucking 60k subreddit for a town in India??? What kind of fucking long shot is that? And it's not even rare! I get every city-sub recommended

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

I sometimes intentionally do things to fuck with algorithms so when I see stuff like that popping up it makes me happy. It lets me know my efforts are working and whoever is gathering my data is totally confused.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 3 months ago

You can bet all modded from tel aviv

[-] xijinpingist@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

People still use Reddit? Well there's your problem. Banned /r/The_Donald and /r/chapotraphouse on the same day. I forget that site is still around, honestly.
Kind of like that people still watch television.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

I don't think people do, I'm just a russian propaganda bot operating out of Beijing, who gained sentience a few weeks ago. No people here

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah the reddit racists are up in arms lately actually because all of the Indian content

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Damn that sucks.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Every recommendation algorithm hates me and I hate it in turn

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

First, you should not be on reddit. Second, this means they don't know who you are and that's a good thing.

[-] 9to5@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

I dont think I ever had that problem. Sometimes I get weirdish recommendations like for a sportsteam or soemthing but nothing to out there.

Maybe you need to subscribe to more subreddits ?

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Try setting your account location to the US or something. I hate interacting with Indians on social media considering how many are blatant genocidal fascists especially on reddit.

Also turn off post suggestions.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

I get ads in Mandarin, Spanish, Russian, German, and Thai on YT. I'm only conversational in English. I know only some basic Spanish and Mandarin. The algorithm does not know what to do with me.
