@Em0nM4stodon I've been pondering for a while that maybe mastodon COULD have an algorithm. Or multiple, pluggable ones. All open, transparent, configurable.
@Em0nM4stodon Its worth mentioning too that if you follow someone, but for whatever reason don’t prefer their boosts, you CAN disable boosts just for that person.
@Em0nM4stodon Be the algorithm you want to see in the world
@Em0nM4stodon are you also supposed to use hashtags more on the Fediverse? Or I should say, "supposed to".
@Em0nM4stodon So, can we just replace Like and Boost with one button and that's it?
@Em0nM4stodon it's important to remember this when there is no "algorithm" as such. That's a nice thing - not seeing recommended posts by right wing mouthpieces when I have no interest at all in their hate.
We are the Algorithm. Your content will be assimilated.
@Em0nM4stodon
I'm not funny enough to dare boost my own posts, so... Maybe a failed humor button?

@admin Self-boost without shame! It's actually good to boost a post at a different time of the day, since the timeline is chronological. It helps reaching out to new people who are active at different times.

Boosting posts on Fedi is necessary in order for older content to be seen. There's no algorithms on here, so it'll remain buried otherwise. If you're worried about it though, you could selectively boost the content you feel is important or worth revisiting due to current relevance.
