Fuck Bluesky. Fuck algorithmic feeds.I am proven wrong… This article is actually quite great and worth the read. Ignore my ignorant first knee jerk comment, and learn from my mistake 🤡These are feeds that you have to follow, and the “algorithm” is defined by the feed creator. This isn’t BS forcing stuff on people.
I then misunderstood frankly. Thanks!
I just didn’t want to see these new things turning right back into Twitter or Insta etc.
Bluesky maybe, but algorithms are the pillar of anything digitally interactive. But manipulative ones are discouraged here.
Yeah I understand some basic need. Like. Feeds are updated. But not this ‘imma track everything you click or say or do’ then profile you and funnel trash to you.
I do get there is some nuance in there. I just knee-jerked thinking we are already moving back toward what we try to get away from.
OP here — my aim with this post was to help others understand what’s behind “the algorithm” and help others create their own customizations.
I definitely did not mean to do anything that will regress us towards the vibe of billionaire-controlled platforms. If you think there’s a better way to phrase things that highlights transparency and getting away from the black boxes that run most mainstream platforms, very open to feedback!!
Some days I put true effort into checking things deeper. Sometimes I’m more ‘cursory’ looking. Usually I try not to comment without looking to avoid this exact situation.
However. Foot meet mouth. Your post is great and I simply didn’t read it deeper before commenting. I apologize medhir.
