@fromjason dril and gators daily are the only thing my masto feed is missing in comparison to ye olde bird site

@Tiezep okay can we talk about this? Because I really love it here, but it is missing two things— the surrealist movement of Weird Twitter, and satirical movement of Black Twitter that made the bird app so damn funny.

I don't want to make Masto into Twitter, but I'm looking for some comedic styles to emerge. Can anyone point me in directions?

@fromjason this is why I didn't want to pay for Kagi; these "algorithms" are optimising for probability and attention, rather than usefulness, clarity, concision, maintenance, or control.

One of the most interesting tech discussions I've had around this was in a site hoping to popularise specific specialists. Several of us "had views" about the importance of being able to tweak algorithms, but they were all based upon practical benefits to end-users, not short-term ad-centric ideas like these.
