@mojomoomoo Well it's obvious that influencers will miss the algorithm here on Mastodon. They will have to use real content instead of hype.

Not as easy for them. But bottom line not a bad thing.

I assume influencers are mainly extroverts. So they will want a lot of interaction from other people.

I think it goes beyond that, influencers get a buzz out of it and a dopamine hit. They've come here and like an addict who needs a bigger hit they get bored very quickly. Algorithms help with that on Twitter and Instagram. No such help here.

@mojomoomoo @antipode77 @fubaroque that's an interesting thought. So, it seems content influencers are addicted to algorithms because playing the algorithms right has a similar result in the brain as hitting a jackpot on a slot machine...

YouTube didn't create a way to bring better content to the top, they recreated the effects of a casino.

They want that effect for everybody, content producers and users. Everyone gets that dopamine hit.
yesterday I switched mastodon over to slow mode. I now need to click to refresh. That dopamine hit no longer comes automatically. I think even though Mastodon is not a profit making entity, even they realise that hit will keep users coming back so slow mode is only an option, not standard.

@mojomoomoo @antipode77 @fubaroque

That really got me thinking now. The algorithms that keeps the streams going and the users scrolling for the dopamine hit is a real case for addiction.

On a slight fork that reconnects from the above, I remember reading something that boredom is a kin to mental "pain" when you are used to constant entertainment. I'm searching my zettelkasten for the source.

Ha! I posted about it recently with a book and youtube video related to the zettlekasten system.

@notnorm @[email protected] awesome, I HIGHLY recommend the book How to Take Smart Notes by Sönke Ahrens. https://www.worldcat.org/title/how-to-take-smart-notes-one-simple-technique-to-boost-writing-learning-and-thinking-for-students-academics-and-nonfiction-book-writers/oclc/1003209782 The author also gave a talk related to the topic of the book that is on YouTube and it's great. https://youtu.be/nPOI4f7yCag #zettlekasten #notes #writing

My brain now hurts after reading the page I did Zetelkasten.de introduction needs to use the method to format that page.

Interesting, I was thinking how the method would be perfect for person Bible study, especially as cross-referencing is so valuable.
I don't know if you use XML, but it looks like XML would work on a similar basis. I don't really know XML but have seen it in use where this kind of referencing is invaluable.

@mojomoomoo writing notes in XML would be really tedious. Markdown (markdownguide.org) on the other hand, allows writing and format a document quickly and easily. There are a lot of markdown MD, editors out there that render MD as you type but they are not needed. You can write in anything you like. Check out the link I posted and see if it's something you can make use of.
