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 still lament what we lost when the web mostly gave up on the idea of directories (like dmoz) and just went with search engines. Don't google my social.
-
@lisamelton That said, let things be true to themselves… Masto as you say, is about the people who make it work, not an algo.
Don’t try to make fetch happen, eh?
@octothorpe @lisamelton Fetch would be a pretty good algo name though.
-
@schwa @lisamelton yep, Lisa is THE algo of Mastodon, one of the few
@peteriskrisjanis @lisamelton Cue legion of loonies.

@lisamelton Oh boy, an algorithm just like my big boy social medias
Tell me, techbro, how well that’s working out
For everyone

@lisamelton Absolutely no algorithms. No no no! I'm way more opposed to having my feed dictated to me based on unknown, uncontrolled and possibly undesirable factors than I am anything about AI.

@lisamelton I’m new here and still kinda figuring out the whole making connections thing, but yeah this is absolutely the vibe and why I’m here

@lisamelton No algorithm has ever been able to precisely target all of my anxieties as well as I have managed to do here… uh, oops. At least nobody is profiting off of them!

@lisamelton Why some want/need an algorithm (I am not one of them)-

@berniethewordsmith He's getting pummeled the last time I checked.
-
Yes! And how did I see this post? A boost from a friend (yay!), not from an algorithm !
@FallsMom @lisamelton (I saw it because of an algorithm: the trending tab)
I can understand if people are overwhelmed by posts in their timeline because they're following people that post a lot. They may want to continue following them but get fewer things, and there could be room for a "less of this"/"more of this" personal curator thingy. The key is letting it be completely controlled by the user, and transparent. It might still not be a good idea, but worth exploring.

@lisamelton The Trending tab does this for me -- I have my curated feed, and periodically I click on Trending, which leads me to NEW PEOPLE who I can follow. And also breaking news.
There IS an algorithm. You just get to CHOOSE whether to use it.

@nosrednayduj Yes. It's not the default. And, most importantly, the Trending tab is not tailored to what you've posted. You're anonymous as far as it's concerned.

@lisamelton fuck yeah, be ur own algorithm

@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.

The techbro can sod off.
