So stupid. Just use Mastodon. No algorithms. No billionaires. No monetization. No bullshit. And some really great folks, too.
No algorithms.
Could we please use words for their actual meaning?
How would you say “no obscure algorithm to determine your timeline, hiding posts of people who follow and showing posts of people you don’t” without having to write a full paragraph each time?
“No algorithms” is a worse answer to this question than “no timelines”, “no posts” and “no people”.
“No trickery” maybe. “No recommendations” is another.
“Algorithmic timeline” might be appropriately specific?
No.
No algorithms isn’t a selling point to the average user. My Mastodon feed is kinda sad and boring, if I’m not on top of it I’ll just miss interesting posts that happened in the days I didn’t open the app.
Bluesky custom feeds really help with that, while still providing the chronological no-algorithm view as your main feed. It’s just a more interesting experience for people that aren’t chronically online.

Either you’re following the wrong people or this says more about you than it does about mastodon
if I’m not on top of it I’ll just miss interesting posts that happened in the days I didn’t open the app.
Oh no!! Heaven forbid you miss a social media post!! Whatever will you do?!??
With as much bad faith antisocial sociopathic shit Mark Zuckerberg has done, I truly don’t understand why anyone would use anything associated with meta. He’s Elon Musk with more experience at being… that.
Bluesky isn’t going to be the savior of social media, but with the death of Cohost it’s the least bad option available.
Hes a cunt. Lets be clear, he is an enormous asshole, shut person who is likely making up for having not been liked. He is dangerous.
But he isnt Musk. There two different enormous turds.
I’d say Zuck is smart enough not to show to the world what an asshole he is. That’s the main difference between him and Musk.
Bluesky is my default social network when I don’t feel like having slap fights with nerds.
When I do feel like having slap fights with nerds, I come here. Or mastodon.
Using 2 different versions of a technology for different usecase?
Them’s slappin’ words.
Do you take sugar in your own tea ? Do you even drink tea ?
I’m partial to honey in my tea.
I actually don’t like tea, but my SO does.
That said, username is from a song popularized by Three Dog Night: Mama Told Me.
😄 Fair enough. Thanks for getting back to me
