Algorithmic feeds on the fediverse? Controversial. I get it.

But here's the thing: we can build them ethically. Transparent. Opt-in. Default to reverse-chron followers (and local, if you want it).

Did it with Loops. 1M+ unique video views in 4 months.

Build healthy. Keep users happy. Listen to your community.

@algorithms fediview.com can now recommend #mastodon posts based on your personal post history. The #recommendations are generated in real-time and the system is designed to be privacy-respecting.

It's still in beta and fediview.com/plus is required for now, but let me know if you would like to help me test it.

"Bender remains particularly fond of an alternative name for #AI proposed by a former member of the Italian Parliament: “Systematic Approaches to Learning #Algorithms and Machine Inferences.” Then people would be out here asking, “Is this #SALAMI intelligent? Can this SALAMI write a novel? Does this SALAMI deserve human rights?”
