@loops Can i block this "service" at all?

The #Fediverse is the #service without any #algorithms you have to struggle with!

Show threadloops
You can block Loops domains yes, but remember the fediverse is powered by algorithms, you are using one right now on Mastodon, a reverse chronological feed. That is an algorithm!

@loops

First: timestamps and sorting messages by timestamps is no algorithm – it is sorting. (But i accept to see sorting as an algorithm.)

I don't understand how i can block loops domain if i'm a user of loops? As a user of loops i just want to see things on loops in reverse timestamp order – nothing more, nothing less.

I think having that choice would be important to me too. I'm waiting to see

@dnkrupinski @loops You can just scroll through the 'Following' and 'Local' timeline if you are not interested in seeing videos powered by an algorithm.
For others, like me, who would like to see more videos pertaining to our own interests - but not on platforms owned by big corporates, the loops algorithm does a great job.

Also, looking forward to the account suggestions feature.

Algorithms are not evil, the problem is the lack of control over it and the lack of transparency on other platforms.
If it is optional and helps you based on your peferences that you can change and know how it works, I don't see any problem.

@taketwo @loops

I agree. But non of this is true for loops at the moment.

There are a lot of peferences in loops which are not changeable and Dan is adding more features without the possibility to opt-out the old preferences.

So i think, this is no good path.
