so the National Lottery has reasonably enough decided to go ahead with its £500,000 grant to UK trans charity Mermaids, on top of the over £300,000 raised by @Hbomberguy's stream. #ThanksGraham https://twitter.com/Mermaids_Gender/status/1097867934750396418

It'd look something... like this!

I find Jaron Lanier very insightful here. He points out that algorithmic social media tends to split people into two teams, then shows the most extreme/outrageous version of one team to the other so that they can whip themselves up into a frenzy.

"And it just turns out as a matter of course, that the same data that is a positive, constructive process for the people who generated it […] can be used to irritate other groups."

I don't use Twitter, but via RSS and Mastodon crossposters I occasionally get a glimpse into some drama that's going on over there. I see mention of a "holy war", "<x>-gate", etc., even within some innocuous community like webdev or JavaScript.

There is no holy war; there is only Twitter whipping up controversy for engagement. If you think the "other side" is some cartoonish caricature of evil, ask yourself who benefits from presenting that worldview to you.
