And yet you’re on Lemmy which also has a hot feed.
The things is you can do both, and it’s hard and unrewarding to find interesting things on Mastodon. So I stopped trying.
The really dumb things is the new feed is also an algorithm. You’re just proud that it’s not very good.
It’s just a mathematical inevitablity that it won’t work well.
Most people’s posts are not as good as their best ones and if I’m just going to dip into a site I’d like to see things I’m interested in that other people also thought were good.
Some people don’t like to use social media like that though, and more power to you if Mastodon scratches your itch.
Yeah but most toots are boring, and the chronological feed, and refusal to even hide repeated posts by the same person, does Masterdon absolutely no favors.
I think the last time I logged in my new feed was entirely posts by Cory doctro, who just decided to toot an entire article, and after I clicked more posts enough, it was just showing pictures of someone else’s cup of tea.
There’s a hacky bridge that’s meant to allow for it, but Bluesky uses a different protocol, so no they can’t without a bunch of effort.

Yeah I tried to move to Mastodon but without a hot feed it’s just so boring.
Unfortunately only Bluesky and Lemmy seem to be attempting a decentralized hot feed, and Lemmy is too quiet for niche topics, and Bluesky is only decentralized in theory.
Just calm down and wait. You don’t actually need massive amounts of milk from the start, and it takes time for everything to kick in.
If there’s still not enough milk, you can mix bottle and breast.
Some people genuinely need to bottle feed, but that’s not what was going on in our case.
The important thing about NHS care is that half the midwives are completely insane, and they all contradict each other. They have basically no medical training and are just meant to get someone qualified if anything goes wrong. Instead they go mad with power and use it to bully first time parents into doing what they say.
Our midwife was insistent that if there wasn’t enough breast milk immediately after birth we had to switch to bottlefed. I don’t think you can figure out the official NHS approach based on anything a midwife says.
That’s probably more a stalling tactic then anything else.
The longer they can run down the clock, the greater the chance is that Trump dismantles the FCC before the case is over, and even if he doesn’t do that it lets them keep selling data for longer.
Privacy badger does this.
Every embedded link to Twitter requires you to click to enable them.
Ok, but could you take him instead?
He probably won’t be able to do as much damage if he’s out the country.
The infographic says crop farming. Ireland is green because of the grass which goes with animal farming.
The chart is lazy nonsense that ignores most of the farming in Ireland.
Wainwright has already condemned it and Leonard Cohen’s estate has issued a cease and desist order in response.
I’m expecting the full Elvis.
Dies on the toilet while eating a big Mac.
Fucking nailed it. My favorite application of it is to brew espresso at exactly the right temperature.
I thought it was someone watching their partner give/receive oral sex and cycling through anger and depressed acceptance.
Fuck palantir, I want to know how Sauron is voting.
They recommend that you do vote, and don’t vote for anyone except Harris.
But they don’t explicitly recommend you vote for Harris.
This is super serious voting strategy you guys.
Both. It’s satire.
The “benefit” of world hunger is that it keeps people locked in their place and entrenches the status quo. This is actually true, and the author believes it, but he doesn’t like it.
Many people benefit from world hunger though, and every time you hear that poverty is a hard problem to solve you should ask yourself, how much of that is actual problems and how much is the status quo resisting change?
Slack supports self-hosting. https://api.slack.com/distribution/hosting
I didn’t think so. It’s a deliberate design decision by the developers to make it really hard to compute.
This is actually something where Bluesky is doing more interesting federated things than Lemmy or Mastodon, and let’s you use your own algorithm while with both Lemmy and Mastodon you’re stuck with standard algorithms.
None of the alternative algorithms are particularly compelling yet, they’re mostly topic feeds, but who knows what’ll happen.
