@lisamelton No, you re the algorithm, the rest of us just swim in the sea of Lisa boosts.
@lisamelton Aw beans I've been added to the ocean, I shoulda posted this from the public account.

@the5thColumnist @lisamelton Define rich.
@CStamp @the5thColumnist @lisamelton
I may be a sucky little cog in the Mechanical Turk algo of the Fediverse, but we're still miles ahead of what the F- ever Meta and Xter are swilling up.
I'm rather proud of being a sucky little cog!

.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.
Yea, no thank you to that.
It's amazing that people have had their minds so scrambled by social algorithms that they actually crave it.
Gross.

Yes! And how did I see this post? A boost from a friend (yay!), not from an algorithm !

Help Mohammed and his Family in Gaza Survive and Seek Evacuation
My name is Mohammed Abu Adi. I live in Gaza. The situation here is catastrophic for me. I am a father of five children––three daughters (Lama, 18, Jana, 12, and Suwar, 7) and two sons (Adi, 16, and Abdul Qadir, 14). I have a wife (Warda), and I'm 39 years old. Of course, we need everything. My house was completely destroyed, along with all its contents––bedrooms, kitchenware, clothes, everything. Now, I'm living in a small, difficult rented house, and I'm trying to find someone to help me so that my children and I can continue living.

@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 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.

@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.
