  1. University of Southern California: USC Rossier study links online racism, including algorithmic bias, to negative impacts on Black adolescents’ mental health. “Through an analysis of daily diary surveys, the research team, led by Brendesha Tynes, found that exposure to online racism heightens anxiety and depressive symptoms in Black youth.”

    #FediAlgo (the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed) v1.2.2 is deployed now. Has a switch that makes sure any #hashtags / users / etc. that you follow are displayed as filter options even if they don't meet the minimum number of recent toots threshold.

    Also a bunch of bug fixes and small improvements.

    new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.

    there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

  6. i think i had my first truly positive #AI experience... i asked it to write code comments that could be transformed into API documentation for #Fedialgo, and other than the part where it repeatedly and strenuously suggested deleting all the most important parts of the code, it actually did a pretty good job.

    #FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, now has a "TOTAL CHAOS" preset for when you're really feeling like mixing up your timeline in addition to a way to weight toots based on the author's follower count, highlighting of hashtags based on how much you use or interact with them, and a bunch of other fund stuff.

    The new version of #Fedialgo is much, much faster at loading and reordering the timeline. Also has fancy gradients to show you which hashtags in your feed are the ones trending the most and which ones you post about the most. Also a bunch of other tweaks and improvements.

  12. I have posted about this before, but wanted to re-iterate how much in love I am with FediAlgo:

    I’m currently on paternity leave so have around half an hour per day for social. That is of course far from enough to keep up with a chronological timeline like mine, and previously with Mastodon the FOMO was real.

    Now I go to FediAlgo and I feel I got an overview over what’s interesting in that day. It’s also immensely customisable, but the defaults do a decent job for me.

    If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you try it out. You can try it out on my personal playground at fedialgo.thms.uk or on the maintainer’s official website at michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/fe

    Thanks @cryptadamist for the work you put into this!

  14. The fine @michael has deployed the #FediAlgo demo app to a place where you can test out the customizable algorithm + filtering system for your home timeline with nothing more than a web browser. You can find it here:

  16. The FediAlgo hashtag filter section now highlights any hashtags you've posted about recently.

    Interestingly the most I've used the app the more I've found feed filtering gets a ton of mileage for me. It's a huge change of pace to be able to instantly flip between whatever people are talking about on the Fediverse. Not really something you can do on any other social media platform I'm aware of.

  18. I released a bunch of small bug fixes and performance improvements for #FediAlgo, the mastodon timeline feed algorithm (though unfortunately it still requires a command line to run I promise I will soon deploy it somewhere anyone can enjoy it as they can with stuff like Phanpy).

    New release of #FediAlgo (customizable #algorithm for your #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features:

    1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual settings)

    2. A "What's Trending" section that will show you the top trending hashtags, links, and posts scraped from 30 or so of the most popular Mastodon servers

    All the old features like filtering for particular languages / hashtags / users or a minimum number of replies / boosts / etc. are still there.

  22. So, with the results in mind, I'd say Mastodon could use better searchability and maybe improved notifications to make it more accessible and usable for people who cannot check in several times each day.

  24. I kept wondering why when I randomly opened Xwitter, I kept seeing semi-lewds from the Yama no Susume bot. :blobfoxterrified:

    Then I realized it's algorithmic, so boob bounce, boob zoom, changing, onsen/bath, black screens, swimsuit tanline scenes had more ❤️ s, so the algorithm prioritized it. Thanks guys who upvote semi-lewds, I just wanted random cute instead. The algorithm works as intended, sigh. :ablobcatnodmeltcry:

  25. I've been trying to build a personal #AlgorithmicTimeline for #Mastodon for myself for some time and I've got a basic version working. Here's how it works:

    1. Fetch posts in my home timeline for last 24 hours.
    2. Apply my Mastodon filters on them to remove unwanted posts.
    3. Remove private posts.
    4. Remove posts that I have liked, boosted or replied to.
    5. Remove foreign language posts.
    6. Fetch like, boost and reply counts for the posts from their origin server.
    7. Partition posts into boosts and non-boosts, and apply next steps for each partition separately.
    8. Assign scores to posts using this formula:
    `score = geometric_mean(like_count, boost_count, reply_count) / square_root(follower_count_of_poster)`
    9. If a post contains any of my specified favourite tags, increase its score by multiplying it by a constant factor (I use 1.2).
    10. If a post is from any of my specified favourite accounts, increase its score by a constant factor (I use 1.2).

    It’s not called resistance when your volume knob is in someone else’s hand.
