Girl on the NetOne of my favourite things about Mastodon is the niche creativity you get to see - when things aren’t determined by an algorithm, your creative projects don’t need to be understood or approved of by a majority in order for me to actually see them in my timeline. So I get lots of random fun art projects, knitting projects, unusual erotica, creative photography, nerds building cool things with wires. Love it. Cheers me right up, thanks Fedi ❤️
Nick's world@girlonthenet my favorite are the nature photos, especially mountains and forests.
Christopher Phin@girlonthenet There was a time when I was on social media that I tried slightly to curate a version of myself that I thought folks who follow me would like and respond to. Now, y’all just get whatever the fuck I feel like putting out there, and the worst case scenario is that you unfollow. 🤷🏻♂️😅
@girlonthenet the diversity is very cool. The lack of an engagement algorithm gives equal space to niche interests and doesn’t incentivise one type of post over another. It feels real.
Kofani@girlonthenet idk, still self-promoting and cannot be in other way, when someone will find algorithms how to make friendship relationships or "healthy" communications not like a follower-poster, then it will be better then real life
@girlonthenet but yep, here in mastadon the own charm exist
Noujoum@girlonthenet can you recommend some accounts or hashtags? I would love to have some more of that in my timeline!
@noujoum I don’t keep a list but I do always try to boost cool things so feel free to scroll through my timeline!
@girlonthenet thanks I will!
Michael Labowicz@girlonthenet there should be a hashtag for this type of thing!
Tim Richards@girlonthenet @kate Totally agree. Down with the tyranny of algorithms!
