In this study, we try to understand what kind of conversations could be found in these visibility configurations from a non-normative approach to political dialogue, recognizing the value of daily and affective conversation on matters of common interest (Graham 2015). To do so, we selected highly visible videos created in 2020 in the hashtags #25N and #AbortoLegal2020 (#LegalAbortion2020) two on YouTube and two on TikTok– and analyzed the 50 comments with the highest engagement from each production. The results reveal that vernacular visibility tends to build consensus from a superficial understanding of the feminist agenda. Instead, algorithmic resistance triggers political disputes that try to limit the advancement of feminists' demands. In both types of visibility and on both platforms, men moderate the conversation even when they present less participation. Despite this, vernacular visibility is presented as an opportunity of expression for women not necessarily participants in feminist activism, who share testimonies of violence. Presentamos los resultados de un estudio cualitativo sobre la conversación política que desencadenó el hashtivismo feminista latinoamericano en el 2020 frente a dos configuraciones de visibilidad: la que usó lenguas vernáculas de redes sociodigitales y la que resistió el poder algorítmico por medio de la acción colectiva (Sued et al 2022). Nos preguntamos qué tipo de conversaciones podemos encontrar en dichas configuraciones desde una aproximación no normativa del diálogo político que reconoce el valor de la conversación cotidiana y afectiva sobre asuntos de interés común (Graham 2015). Para ello seleccionamos videos de alta visibilidad creados en el 2020 en los hashtags #25N y #AbortoLegal2020 –dos en YouTube, dos en TikTok– y analizamos los 50 comentarios de mayor engagement de cada producción. Los resultados revelan que la visibilidad vernácula tiende a construir consenso a partir de una comprensión superficial de la agenda feminista. En cambio, la resistencia algorítmica desencadena disputas políticas que tratan de limitar el avance de dicha agenda. En ambos tipos de visibilidad y plataformas, los hombres moderan la conversación aún al presentar menor participación. No obstante, la visibilidad vernácula genera espacios de expresión para mujeres que no necesariamente participan en el activismo feminista y que comparten sus testimonios de violencia.
