Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™.
Opening the door for AI bullshit is not even the worst part of this idea.
Folks, all of us here ARE the algorithm. Personal curation is a feature, not a bug.
We make Mastodon awesome by following people and boosting what we find meaningful, significant or just cool. That's how it works.
Let's keep making friends. Let's keep sharing. Let's keep Mastodon alive. Together. 💖
Yes! And how did I see this post? A boost from a friend (yay!), not from an algorithm !
My name is Mohammed Abu Adi. I live in Gaza. The situation here is catastrophic for me. I am a father of five children––three daughters (Lama, 18, Jana, 12, and Suwar, 7) and two sons (Adi, 16, and Abdul Qadir, 14). I have a wife (Warda), and I'm 39 years old. Of course, we need everything. My house was completely destroyed, along with all its contents––bedrooms, kitchenware, clothes, everything. Now, I'm living in a small, difficult rented house, and I'm trying to find someone to help me so that my children and I can continue living.
