Algorithms, bubbles and false balance, sentence 2
When your feed and friends all agree with you, it can feel as if everyone does; that is a bubble, or echo chamber, and posts that make people angry spread fastest because angry people comment.
Who acts: feed, it, that, posts, angry people · What happens: agree, feel, be, make, spread, comment · To what, where: bubble, people
This is a sentence of the lesson «Algorithms, bubbles and false balance» of the politics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (feed, it, that, posts), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
