DavidI am wondering whether #mastodon could somehow fix the issue with following musical artists via hashtags.
SITUATION
I am into music and I would love to get updates about these artists in my feed. Could be pictures from concerts or announcements of concert dates etc.
Of course, I can follow hashtags. And I can also limit the posts to languages that I understand. However, an endless stream of automated posts about bands XY playing on a radio station somewhere is ruining the feed.
You can try #gorillaz as example. Some interesting posts, but most of it is automated and irrelevant.
TASK
Find a way to filter only human posts about these bands.
This would apply to other topics as well, but I find it most striking for #music .
ACTION / THOUGHTS
Could we / Should we add a #humancontent hashtag?
Or could mastodon identify automated amounts by identifying a pattern of similar posts coming from one account, so that I can filter?
The filter would then be:
- #gorillaz
- language: EN, DE, ES
- include feeds: false
Something like that.
RESULT
I could follow bands via hashtags and connect with other folks.
🤷
I would be very open for ideas.
