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

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. ๐Ÿ’–

@lisamelton Nah, I'd love it if people that post only when I'm asleep, or people that only post occasionally get bubbled up so that I can read their stuff and not have it buried by folks that post several times a day, every day. "Algorithm" isn't an inherently naughty word.

@haliphax @lisamelton

Agreed, at the end of the day even the ordered by time list of posts we have now is an "algorithm"
