Gregory's ServerThe new home feed does border on the algorithmic side, but you will have full control over that, and we'll make it super transparent, the classic chronological feed will remain the default!

 @dansup maybe an unpopular opinion here but I really like this. Its really hard to find accounts to follow on the fediverse right now, cause unless you're really into politics there isn't much of a way to find others with similar interests.  @dansup I don't like how the Discover tab works in the android app. It's a never-ending column of thumbnails that you need to tap on before you get to view the actual image with all the icons and stuff. Why? |
@dansup the word "algorithm" has become a bit of a bogeyman on the fediverse. There's nothing wrong with helping users see content that may be relevant to them, as long as they have control over it and it doesn't involve shady data collection practices.
I see similar stuff with "AI", sure the modern incarnation of AI is legally and morally questionable, but basic content analysis (e.g. spam filters) that has been around for decades seems to be getting lumped in with it now.
