Comment on Fediverse alternative to Pinterest?
sonalder@lemmy.ml 5 weeks agoYou simply don’t get the usecase. I don’t want Pinterest to show me stuff that I’m into. I want it to show me similar pictures to build coherant yet creative moodboards.

Oh boy… I’m sorry. I’m arguing on another thread against someone who is saying algorithms are inherently bad and we shouldn’t use them. I thought that was you. I will try and remember to check context next time.
Yes, you’re making a lot of sense. I think that’s why I never got Pinterest. I used it for link storage, not idea generation.

Algorithmes aren’t inherently bad. The fact that they are opaque blackbox imposed to you by the plateforms so you get addicted is why they are bad. The day we have the choice between multiple client-side transparent algos it will be better.
