.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 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.

@lisamelton
The techbro can sod off. -
@lisamelton I’m new here and still kinda figuring out the whole making connections thing, but yeah this is absolutely the vibe and why I’m here
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.
-
@DiaaMahmoud097 Agreed!
-
@berniethewordsmith He's getting pummeled the last time I checked.
@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!

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

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.
