This post made me think of community cultures and our association with identity. Algorithms can help navigate us to people and communities. Some conceal certain aspects of themselves while others could be unaware of their digital footprint or some may not actually care. The things is, we are open for judgement when exposed online. Lectures, peers or ‘lurkers’ can make assumptions of ‘who we are’ which in return can influence how they interact with us online and face to face. Admit it, we have all found out a little too much about someone online and then acted like you were unaware until the information came up in conversation!
