@lisamelton@mastodon.social I mean, they can just make one. It’s fine. There are some apps that will make an algo feed from your local server and your follows.

@lisamelton@mastodon.social We have an algorithm though 1) Post something 2) if @lisamelton@mastodon.social boosts it… 2a) Cringe as a legion of loonies feel they need to reply 3) Goto 1

@lisamelton@mastodon.social i'll play devil's advocate on this one. I'm a #mastodon noob. So maybe i'm doing something wrong. My feed features numerous low-effort posts with no community engagement. One after the other. Is there room for improvement in the algorithm? I feel that labelling users who voluntarily provide feedback - as 'jackholes', is unnecessary. ( with all due respect ;-) ) My 2 cents.

@lisamelton Let’s also keep dunking on the techbros so that they know they’re lame and should feel bad.

@lisamelton I think I participated in that poll and I'm sure I didn't vote the way he liked.

@lisamelton feed algorithms are profit extraction machines - I'm all extracted out

@lisamelton No, you re the algorithm, the rest of us just swim in the sea of Lisa boosts. :neobot_giggle:

@lisamelton Yea, no thank you to that. It's amazing that people have had their minds so scrambled by social algorithms that they actually crave it. Gross.

@lisamelton Yes! And how did I see this post? A boost from a friend (yay!), not from an algorithm !

@lisamelton I still lament what we lost when the web mostly gave up on the idea of directories (like dmoz) and just went with search engines. Don't google my social.

@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online 2026-04-15 00:20
@lisamelton Oh boy, an algorithm just like my big boy social medias Tell me, techbro, how well that’s working out For everyone
-
@JustinMac84@mastodon.social 2026-04-15 00:26
@lisamelton Absolutely no algorithms. No no no! I'm way more opposed to having my feed dictated to me based on unknown, uncontrolled and possibly undesirable factors than I am anything about AI.

@lisamelton I’m new here and still kinda figuring out the whole making connections thing, but yeah this is absolutely the vibe and why I’m here

@leathekd@hachyderm.io 2026-04-15 00:31
@lisamelton No algorithm has ever been able to precisely target all of my anxieties as well as I have managed to do here… uh, oops. At least nobody is profiting off of them!

@lisamelton Why some want/need an algorithm (I am not one of them)-

@lisamelton@mastodon.social The Trending tab does this for me -- I have my curated feed, and periodically I click on Trending, which leads me to NEW PEOPLE who I can follow. And also breaking news. There IS an algorithm. You just get to CHOOSE whether to use it.

@lisamelton@mastodon.social Nah, I'd love it if people that post only when I'm asleep, or people that only post occasionally get bubbled up so that I can read their stuff and not have it buried by folks that post several times a day, every day. "Algorithm" isn't an inherently naughty word.
