@JustinH @neil I wouldn't mind some kind of system that allowed one to curate their own experience with some automation. I imagine something that can pull from my fediverse activity, characterize what interests me, present that back to me for validation, and then allow me to submit that model of what I like to fediverse instances to search them for suitable content. Users can pick their curation algorithm and I like the idea of a validation step where you review what it thinks you like. In my case I will interact with politics and economics topics but I might not want to actually add more of that to my life. So I'd probably turn them off. Muckyzuck Co makes money by feeding me more of it though and increasing engagement.
I'm unlikely to look at my social media use and say, "Oh no! I'm spending too much time with planetary scientists and mathematicians doing nerd stuff!" vs political sparring.
