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. 💖

De gemeentes #Amsterdam, #Ede, #Hertogenbosch en #Zaanstad starten met een pilot voor een autonome digitale werkomgeving. Zij testen een Linux-werkplek en #mijnbureau.
