Can we create and use social networking algorithms on the Fediverse that serve our own personal goals, such as more and deeper personal relationships, career advancement, and more participative citizenship?
@evan yes, but... who is "we"?
If I want to write a client that reshuffles 24h of posts from my feed for some purpose I desire, I can't see why that isn't OK. We the individual users.
If my instance imposes nontransparent, complicated, algorithms not under user control..... well that's unacceptable. We the software designers and operators.
