I used to be very good at writing social media content for algorithms. You know, the stuff that generates lots of "interactions". That was my job for many years.

The thing is, it's a soul-destroying hamster wheel.

As a writer, i want to write about things that mean something -- not continuously throw stuff at a machine that cares nothing for actual human connections.

This is a big reason I try to avoid algorithms. It's because, if they're present, I'll just be subconsciously pumping out "content" for them. And really, that's no fun.

@bigzaphod I haven't experienced that (that I can remember) but I use the Elk app these days. I read that the 'official' Mastodon app wasn't very good when I joined, so I hardly used it at all.

I don’t know why everyone suddenly has amnesia about the fact that #CNN was bought by a conservative asshole & is just hoping you won’t notice long enough to radicalize you based on the network’s former reputation, inertia, & brand loyalty.

Nothing like #Twitter, of course.

Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife

Ethylene gas on imperial mandarins improves visual appeal but may be reducing shelf life

Citrus growers are trying to popularise mandarins with green tinges, but say shoppers have come to expect a perfect glossy orange colour created by gas treatments.
