    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. 💖

    @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 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.

                  @shivvr @lisamelton

                  Welcome. In case it helps: You can subscribe to hash tags. This is how I've found interesting individuals. It gives some of the serendipity of The Algorithm without the agenda, since you'll see people you didn't originally know about.

                  After a while, maybe you unsubscribe from the hash tag. I haven't found the need, but the option is there. For example, you might want to rotate what you're listening to as you settle in, every few days or weeks, maybe to try one or a few hash tags at a time.

                      @lisamelton I'm outta here if an algorithm starts populating my feed. That's just how much I hate social media that uses it.

                        @lisamelton They can make one just for them. They can ask if others want it. I can’t imagine many takers.

                        I might be mussing some technicallity, but I’m not hostile to people modding their own feed.

                                  @lisamelton The main reason I came to the Fediverse was to escape the algorithm horseshit. I like this place just the way it is!
