Gregory's Server@sarajw I think Mastodon needs a (slightly) more sophisticated algorithm than this. It's the algorithm that attracts people to a platform and keeps them engaged.

 @schizanon @duviobaz when I start seeing the same stuff over and over, or my feed slows down, it at least helps me look away, hahah  @duviobaz @sarajw sorry but I absolutely 100% disagree. Algorithms maximising engagement that feed you stuff that makes you angry because angry people rage-tweet, make others angry, all engaged and ready to be served ads is the poison of this century. This is why I left Twitter, and Bluesky, and am happily un-angry here. @Mastokarl @duviobaz yes I definitely have a lot less of the righteous anger I suffered a lot on twitter. |
@duviobaz is it really though? It gets them addicted, for sure. The first Facebook feed had no algorithm. Or twitter. Or Tumblr. They were all chronological to begin with.
