@Em0nM4stodon I've been pondering for a while that maybe #mastodon COULD have an algorithm. Or multiple, pluggable ones. All open, transparent, configurable.

@MissGayle how do you set old stuff to auto-delete?

@Em0nM4stodon So, can we just replace Like and Boost with one button and that's it?
@yrabbit @Em0nM4stodon No, I'm sometimes ashamed of the things I like

@Em0nM4stodon also comment! Boosts are nice, but there's nothing like reading words that another person wrote for you!

And don't be shy in calling out admins who silence anti genocide voices.
Make noise, let people know which admins are rogue.
