Account Suggestions that prioritize what you like and who your friends follow — not just based on follower counts.
Hide suggestions you don't want. The algorithm adapts to you.
This is discovery done right.

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

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

Why would you? If you don’t use Loops you are not using its algorithms.

@juergen @loops

I thought we were trying to establish services in the Fediverse that focus on people and not algorithms? If I want algorithms, advertising, and all the other bad stuff, then I'll stick with the TechBros from the US!

Just saying if you don’t like it, don’t use it.
There is no definition in the Activity Pub specifications that forbid algorithms.
Just a neutral pov.

Btw. you already using a Fediverse SW using algorithms similar to what @dansup wants to achieve:

Goto Trending->Profiles on your Mastodon Instance and you see profiles suggested to you. This is an algorithm.

I **have to** go there to get … – I do not.

Just implement things without the need to opt-out just with the need to opt-in.

@dnkrupinski
Then read first what is proposed for loops it is exactly the same. Have you had the same complaints mentioned to the Mastodon team?

@dnkrupinski no you don’t have to. But sometimes it is just fair to be fair.
