Am I the only person who likes an #AlgorithmicFeed in #socialmedia?

I now follow >2000 people on the birdsite ... I got to that number by hitting Follow on people who say interesting stuff. I let the algo take it from there.

Why be unfollowing people as much as following them?
Or: How does the #firehose stay drinkable if you don't?

Gonna post-hoc tag this #MastodonMeta #AlgorithmicFeed so I can find it later

An interesting thing is that the thread repeatedly talks about user’s “happiness” without mentioning what they actually measured and how. Knowing for-profit corporates, “happiness” was most likely measured along some axis where it just so happens to coincide with “tendency to make users addicted and doomscrolling”.

Sugar cubes will give me happiness and keep me coming back for more, as long as I don’t notice the rot it’s creating in me long term.
