@Gargron Keep it buried. Algorithms always lead to dystopian hell on other services.

@Gargron Good. Keep developing features, most potential users don't really subscribe the paranoia some of the mastodon purists have. And to those people, these features are not "out to get you", different from big corporation platforms, you can close them and still enjoy a happy experiences. Just don't force your paranoia on us.

@Gargron I followed several of the media outlets that are accessible now that @Flipboard is federating, so I contributed, 😜

@Gargron You sure those weren't just all that OnlyFans spam you guys keep sending out?

@Gargron question (assuming you are talking about those in Explore -> People), are you able to track those followed using that feature or are you counting the general number (ie: number or users followed in any way) ? Thanks

@Gargron there are follow recommendations? Where?

@Gargron

@Gargron I’m generally anti-algo, but given the way things are done around here, looking forward to seeing how it can be used for purposes other than profit or evil thought-nudging. Plus Masto could def use an easier way to find others, opt-in willing.

@Gargron I see that some people hate algorithms like they are a disease 🦠 but they are just the product of the person who created them, so If you have any doubts about what is happening just go and review the code, rewarding the new algorithm for recommendations It’s a huge step forward, Congrats 🎊

@Gargron I'd like to choose from 20 algorithms and switch when I like. One one site "I"d like to see my bubble friends " and on the other side of the spectrum "give me all people Who love soccer and Meat and bbq (in my case).

@Gargron How much is this impacted by possibly more new users joining after the change? It seems like you would need to remove new users from the analysis.
