Hey fellow mastodon n00bs!

You may have heard there's no algorithm here. Yes there's no a centrally managed algorithm. BUT:

There *is* an algorithm. It's a function of chronology, your individual following and filtering decisions, and - this part's important - the collective behavior of your first-degree network.

That means YOU are part of EVERYONE ELSE's "algorithm."

Please:
* Boost good stuff
* Set replies "unlisted"
* Use CWs for anything others might want to choose to see or not

@sanjaysrivastava Do you mean that each time I do a toot like this one I'm writing right now, I should click on the... snowglobe-looking thing until it turns into an open lock?

@Cassandra In a nutshell, yes. Though there may be appropriate times for exceptions. Some replies could probably make sense doubling as a standalone post appearing on your followers' feeds
