    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'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 @berniethewordsmith This was the fellow upset because AI journos weren’t being boosted here? Lol, yeah, we’re a tough crowd.

                Greetings, I am rather new here too. I'm here to join the welcome party. I hope to cross paths in the future. Have a great day.

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

                            @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)?

                                      @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.

                                        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 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.
