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. 💖

@shivvr @lisamelton Yep! That’s actually what makes this place so great. I use apps designed for the blind, but the beauty of it is that anybody could be using a third party app without any restrictions or restraints. More mainstream platforms are closing their API’s but Mastodon and other Fediverse projects like Go to Social use third party apps a lot
