Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Socialâ„¢.

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. 💖

@lisamelton I follow @hypebot which boosts me trending toots into my otherwise chronological timeline. That helps me to see stuff outside of my curated bubble.

The important part is, that this is MY decision and no one forces anything on me.
