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 This is such a good question that I've been unable to answer because I just don't know. I'm not a very good social media user so probably unqualified to judge. But I think the answer might be "Yes but only if you have the technical skills to reason about and customize an 'algorithm'" and then I think about what my personal social goals are, and that answer starts to feel like "no."
But maybe there's some way to make this both approachable without deep education in the topic AND safe?!
