Social media timeline feed:
- Someone you follow and are interested in
- Someone you follow and are interested in
- Someone you follow and are interested in
Social media algorithmic feed:
- Celebrity post from someone you've never even heard of and don't care about
- BRAND POST
- Post from random idiot you've never even heard of
- BRAND POST
- Post from celebrity you despise
- BRAND POST
@lauren Love the algorithmic feed, but a more realistic social media feed, fediverse edition, for me would be:
- Someone you follow and are interested in
- Something interesting from some unknown using a hashtag you follow
- Something totally irrelevant from some unknown using a hashtag you follow
- Someone you follow and are interested in
- Something weird someone you follow and are interested in boosted
- Something interesting from some unknown using a hashtag you follow
etc.
I know it's been said before, but that's literally just @lisamelton here on Fedi.
Practically my entire feed is borne of clicking on neat stuff she's boosted :)
@maysonic @Emilyy @GuerillaGrue @jorgecandeias @lauren That's quite all right! Seriously, your sanity is more important than my vanity. 💖
You can also just hide my boosts by going to my profile and clicking on the "..." menu near my name and selecting "Hide boosts." Then you can add me to a List where you can still see them but they won't be in your timeline.
