What Bluesky did right was allow you to easily get started with starter packs and block lists. You can have a good feed set up in a few hours versus likely years on Mastodon. And then you can choose if you want algorithms or no algorithms and if you choose that you want one, you can choose which one. Mastodon needs to copy those things and it will be the final destination.

Bluesky did a lot right. I really hate it because of that. I think its going ot eventually win out and become exactly the same as twitter.

If you want algorithmic slip then why not just be on corporate owned platforms? The only people that want to feed you slop are those trying to harm you. The fediverse isn’t going to do that, they don’t have a motive for it.

I dont want corporate platforms to be the only ones to implement recommendation algorithms. The problem with the platform is its a blackbox not that it has algorithmic recommendations. And the fediverse will do it, there is already the beginnings of recommendation algorithms.

Isn’t that one of purpose of mastodon? Not having addictive algorithms?
Auth@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I dont find them addictive, just useful.
