Blog Post #4-PLN & Inclusion
Jason’s original post.

Hi Jason,

I think you brought up a good point in the topic of diversity. I like the idea that the diversity of one’s PLN means that it includes various skills, expertise and capabilities. I also agree that it is a good mindset to not think about other people’s gender, religion, culture, sexual orientation etc., when interacting and communicating online. The inclusiveness and diversity of the PLN could really give one more access to different brilliant ideas and aspects.

One thing I worry about in this diversity topic is that the social media apps sometimes have the optimization function which means it only presents what it thinks the users would like to see and only pushes feeds with those tags. The results of this are that people tend to see less diversity even if they want to see more. I wonder whether you think it could be a problem in the topic of diversity.
