  • I personally wouldn’t mind algorithmic recommendations if:

    • you can control or choose the algorithm
    • you can turn it off, or it turns off after you follow N amount of users

    Discovery is important when you’re initially signing up, but once you found the people you want to follow, you don’t really need it any more. It should just be there to help new users, essentially. As long as it’s open source and not run for profit, there’s not the traditional incentive to keep your eyeballs on the app like we see with the other networks.






  • Yep, they’ll extend the shit out of the protocol, and that can take any form. It’ll probably start with cute emoji or gifs that look great in threads but render as some weird code in other clients, and it’ll probably escalate from there until you can’t use the fediverse in anything other than the threads client. After which they’ll turn off federation altogether.
