Well then ask yourself who's doing the manipulation? The instance owner? The open source devs who make the engagement algo?

The open source devs are going to be in line with keeping it transparent and healthy while still keeping it entertaining, so there's already checks and balances right there to prevent it becoming an issue. There is no venture capitalists to corrupt it either, so there's no incentive to make it malicious and the community gets to tweak it to make it balanced. That also means anyone can check to see how it works. Also they can add options for the user to tweak it.

If you don't like it, then the current option of new posts/boosts in order will always be enabled, so this would be a completely optional separate feed and not affect you if you don't like it. No need to police others and decide they don't deserve to have this implemented as an optional sort, and it's not replacing your current feed.

If a instance somehow maliciously manipulates the algo, then that's the beauty of decentralization right there, you're free to swap. The problem with other social media algos is they're corrupted by venture capitalist and they're centralized so you have no say in how it works. Both these issues don't apply to Mastodon.

Engaging is another word for entertaining. I'll take that over boring liberals preaching in their echo chamber.

Sure, here are some ways to be annoying online!

1. Being incredibly dense
2. Keep ignoring what's being said.

Remember, bringing down the other person to your level means you won the disagreement!

You have to be trolling at this point

This is literally what I'm talking about. You say that and then wonder why Mastodon doesn't catch on, yet every other successful social media does this. It's already evident that people don't want this by the huge numbers dropping off mastodon.

In what world does this make sense to you. She choose to die because she didn't want the vaccine. Is point A to point B just not connecting to you?

Nothing wrong with that. The Masotodon server can pool the popular/trending posts and push them to your feed if it's relevant, aka if you follow accounts that follow, or follow a hashtag. It already has to access your information to have the feed work at all obviously, personality just means it makes more complicated decisions from the information is already has.

I've been very confident for awhile now that I can just buy games on a whim and not have to check if their compatible. I just assume they are. So far haven't had any issues, and if I did, then Steam let's you do an easy auto refund so there's no risk at all.

Even the online game I play that I had to keep Windows around for (Genshin Impact), they randomly made their anti cheat compatible with Wine so I have zero reason to use Windows now. I have no more games anymore that don't work on Linux.

There's just a few super popular shooters with aggressive anti cheats that don't really work. Its always the anti cheats that demand direct kernel access! Which people really underestimate how massive of a security flaw that is, even if you don't care about Linux.

Bubble sort is now a sentient AI

You say from Lemmy which is algorithm based.

That's just mastodon for you, since it has no algo. You'll get gaslighted into being told this is good despite being continued to be bored. Unfortunately what you described is the Mastodon experience currently.

I've been on Mastodon for awhile now. It's decent, but it's desperately needs an algo despite what the long term people on there think, while simultaneously wondering why it keeps failing to catch on. Also the community on there is incredibly boring.

It literally was. She had the choice to get vaccinated and get it. She choose not to and die. That is an extremely easy choice. Which part of that is not having a choice?

That comparison makes no sense lol. You can get a vaccine for zero downsides at any point in time with next to no inconvenience. And you compare that to someone dying of lung cancer?? Especially when lungs are extremely limited and they are clearly showing they don't care. You can't say the same about the other comparisons you've made and that's why it makes no sense.

All straight up evil fascist, but the line "I've had enough already of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT" was pretty good lmao

tab completion

rip bozo. That was her fully conscious choice to die

Definitely not. Devs have been asking for an RCS API in Android for ages, and Google hasn't added it.

How tho, are mods that much content or are you some kind of speed runner

Yeah pretty much every theme distro is made obsolete already anyways. Once we were blessed with Hannah Montana Linux, there is just no competition anymore.
