Something random I found from 2013 that's fitting for #Caturday – RIP Grumpy Cat Best take on Arc Search that I’ve read so far: https://werd.io/2024/stripping-the-web-of-its-humanity

@jon "It undoubtedly has a lens through which it sees the world. That’s fine in itself — everyone does — but by removing context, you remove the clues that help you figure out what it is." @jon it is good, and the takes shouldn't be limited to Arc Search, they stand up for gen AI in general. @jon @Gargron worst take. His beef is with the search engines Arc uses. For many, many users Arc will make the web more accessible. And the best part of it: no more ads, the plague of the modern web. This is your algorithm. If you don't want to miss posts from someone, turn this on. Pro Tip: If you were like me and you linked to Twitter profiles when mentioning someone in an article, and you're now on a mission to replace those links with links to either their Mastodon or LinkedIn profile or personal website, take the time to also update any links to tweets. I'm pasting them into the Wayback Machine and linking tweets directly to the @internetarchive. Bonus: Donate to the Internet Archive https://archive.org/donate  News media should be embarrassed to use this logo. I still long for the day when we can move to use the username and server they're on fediverse style. I'm still hoping that Meta will add ActivityPub, which will be the catalyst needed to change the paradigm away from whatever Twitter has become. They should be embarrassed. They’re not. I consider it a handy indicator of whom I free to ignore.

@jon The first can be problematic if there is an account on your server (and it could happen) that has same username but it is a totally different person, it mentions a wrong person then. The latter is... I dunno how can I type that character on my keyboard. But as others said: I consider this as an email address. In emails I mention the full email address to ensure the recipient(s) can reach the mentioned person. So, for me, it will stay @hron84@twitter.com forever.  @jon Possibly my OCD talking, but I wish we could omit the preceding "@". Stupid email, hogging the namespace! And I wish there was a way to unambiguously flag which service a qualified username refers to, without having to add an out of band clarification, or expecting users to either know domains by heart, or visit them in a browser to check. Check out this best worst thing I found. It is my UX nightmare but also fun to play.

The randomness of @Mastodon is great, but the trick for better engagement with some of the people you follow is to turn on notifications. That helps make up for not having an algorithm.
