@mike Question: If corporations implement Activity Pub, does that mean they are providing “Algorithms" to filter the home feed according to user signals (and their advertisers “legitimate" interests)?

@mike Thanks for the reply. You seem to know a lot about the protocol. May I ask who is responsible for the home feed? Is it the server I host my account with or the client app that I use? I ask, because I would not mind to have a machine learning algorithm filter some sources in my feed for the topics I'm interested in and engage with. While other sources I'd like to have raw, 100%. |
@kajkandler ActivityPub implementations are independent from whether algorithms are used or not. And anyone can implement ActivityPub however they choose.
