No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.

You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.

It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.

@fribbledom this is so true!

I've learnt so much since I started diversifying my follows.

@maloki
same here!
I'm wondering how to support this by software design.
Since there is the federated timeline, ones stream is just one click away from diversity.
Yet I don't like to use it much in it's *current* design.
What is bothering me, that it's difficult to find, what I'm wanting to listen the most to. And it is, what has a significant importance to the one posting it. I want to listen to their opinion on things that really matters to them...1/

@maloki
...but I don't want to listen to everything. I also obvious can't.
Which in it's current design leads towards listening to those that write 'the most' or being more reboosted, will be the once drawing my attention.

I've shared here some thoughts how this could be changed:

curating content to challenge antipatterns effecting comunication and culture within the fediverse

I'm not to shure from which angle I should start reasoning my suggestion. But since it's about improving (that's what I pretend until you proof me wrong) the comunication within the fediverse, I'll just start right there from the antipatern. Some being sensible sensitive in this topic please close...

@paulfree14 @maloki @fribbledom Sometimes, perhaps regularly, pick a letter in the alphabet and focus attentively for a time period, even 10 minutes on just reading and perhaps developing empathy from one of the people you follow, or one of the people followed by someone who follows you, or a follower of someone who you follow. Next time pick another letter of the alphabet, another person who has toots and replies that are visible. Sort of daystalking with no malicious intent. @Dassinger Aloha.

@paulfree14 @maloki @fribbledom Interesting. I tend to Star and also reshare the better among many comments I view. If many people do this then it forms a meritocracy of peer-elevated postings. True, those with many followers have a far greater likelihood of some of their own posts being more visible, upranked.

@paulfree14 @maloki @fribbledom ... in part...
Let's imagine for the moment the timeline as it were a gathering. Since I'm following +700 ppl I imagine it would be a gathering in that size.

And how can suggestions to those answers be implemented within the fediverse?
...share at least those info with a wider audience that has a significant high value/importance/relevance/desire for them to be listened to by others.]..
The purely chronological timeline is doing this to some extend.
