Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™.

but the problem is nobody gets rich that way
@the5thColumnist how is that a problem?@lisamelton

.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.
@lisamelton I want to know who this is so I can block him, lol

Algorithm that copies the feed to /dev/null

@antivodonik I'm sure @the5thColumnist was being sarcastic.

@lisamelton I could be misremembering but didn’t we all originally think that “we are the algorithm” was how Facebook, Twitter, etc all worked? And then the stories started coming out about how the companies were “tweaking” that approach in order to “boost engagement”? In other words, isn’t Mastodon just finally giving us what we always wanted (and thought we had)?

@APBBlue I actually can't find the post anymore because I didn't fave it and I certainly didn't boost it.

@lisamelton honestly I'd kind of like a choice of algorithms - not "whoever paid to be on front of my eyeballs" style "algorithm", but, for example, someone that would foreground people I follow who don't post often and tend to get buried in the strict reverse chronological algorithm.

@lisamelton if they want to create a mastodon client to do local AI for an algorithm, more power to them. I’m sure some people might like that, but it should absolutely be a choice, not the default.
I’m guessing that they’ve basically ignored all of the stories about Big Social’s algorithms being manipulated just to keep you engaged.

@lisamelton@mastodon.social @the5thColumnist@ottawa.place
They definitely won't be getting rich if nothing works and nobody wants what they offer
