Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #wearethealgorithm, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I'm very much hooked to #Mastodon , I found my new #digital #home here. It took several months to built it, but it was worth it. Still, yesterday I got overwhelmed. And I've noticed I'm sharing negative/incendiary news way too much. I'm sorry for that. From now on, I'll post/boost at least one positive message for every negative one. I hope this way we could stay sane in these insane times :)

  6. Having a middle-of-the-night #BoostFest while I enjoy my various timelimes and #Lists with a mug of herbal tea.

    Thank you everyone for posting such great content!

    And don't forget, WE spread the news, #WeAreTheAlgorithm, so boost away when you spot good stuff (preferably with #AltText too if there are images)

  11. I follow various #art #mastoart hashtags so I get various styles of art coming onto my home timeline that aren't really of interest to me, so I just #Mute them - it's that simple really, enjoy your art and sharing it with others who enjoy it.

    I also see other art that you're free to draw and share. But let's have a bit of common sense - put content warnings on it (the little CW at the bottom of the posting dialogue box), and an extra warning in the #AltText (NOT a graphic description!!!) so that people can choose to engage with your art rather than having it pop into a timeline raw and unannounced.

    If you do this responsibly, I'll just mute you. If you do this irresponsibly, I'll #Block and #Report you.

  16. That was a quick experiment. My local area on the #BBCNews website. It's still quite heavily weighted towards bad news, but there's good news too if you look.

    But on #Mastodon, we are the algorithm. Boost the good news, the important news, the warm-hearted news, as well as talking about the serious stuff in a considered non-threatening manner as you might when you're round at friends, and you're enjoying getting their points of view, sharing their troubles, and building communities.

    It's a good place to hang out, this place we choose to share. I'd love to have your help to keep it that way.

    I'd normally say it's just my late night musings and I'm not expecting replies, but this time, if you spot my musings and it resonates with you, give it a boost and help spread the message. But only if you want to. You choose.

  21. With my current Mastodon settings, now I get a confirmation dialog for each Follow request.

    Got one, went to look at that user's profile, and it's all shitposts. So denied the Follow and Blocked the user.

    Viewed them on their server, then viewed the server's local timeline, and it's all shitposts. So I Blocked the whole domain.

    I encourage others to do similarly.

    Do encourage people acting in good faith.

    But shut down trolls immediately.

  24. "Pepe frog" user icon? Block.

    Flirting with racism, kinda "tee-hee" edgy shitty username? Block.

    Edgelord vibe? Block.

    Spend 3m and look at the domain too. If it's a troll town, then block.

    Don't engage, amplify, or repeat trolls.

    Take a similar amount of time, and encourage people of good faith. Tell artists when you like their work. Thank those that post good things and useful info. Help good people feel connected. Be kind.

    Amplify the good.
