@atomicpoet "The Algorithm" really broke us. Some people immediately led with "favorites/likes don't do anything here except let the person know you liked what they said." Exactly. That's what I wanted to do - let someone else in the world know that I liked what they wrote.

With the latest turn of events over at threads, it looks like I should probably move on from this server to be safe. I've been meaning to spend more time nurturing my own Mastodon instance, so I may just switch to a single account presence. The future of this account is currently up in the air.

I've already got several thoughts to pull together and eventually share. First of which is that a not insignificant number of responses to #HuggingFace indicate that the tech bros are a major voice there. The distance from the bad place isn't that big when "ethics" are defined by possibility and not intention. Second - I've already seen accounts who raged against moderation problems on #mastodon seemingly shrug at all of the trolls streaming into #bsky now. 🤷

@emjonaitis @atomicpoet That was definitely a big sign that twitter was broken to me. Using likes to bump something up the algorithm was iffy. But injecting content into my feed because someone "liked" or even just followed an account seems completely wrong.

Those bastards did it. They finally did it. They made Microsoft tell everybody to turn the Internet off and back on again. FIFTEEN TIMES!

Looking at the #CrowdStrike magnets on my filing cabinet and wondering if the drawers will still open this morning.
