Year of the Linux Desktop Fediverse!

Side note, DAE find calling them “normies” kinda icky? It’s like straight outta 4chan

    Personally, I think there’s room in the Fediverse for an app with a “strong algorithm” provided it’s completely open ofc.

    My biggest issue with algorithms isn’t the fact they exist, but that they’re proprietary black boxes so no one truly knows how it’s being manipulated

      We should be able to select different fully open source algorithms from a drop down menu, and load custom ones from fediversealgorithmmenuwithdescriptions dot org, including “no algorithm”.

      I assume that’s like a billion hours of work, but, goals.

        “No algorithm” would load nothing at all. Everything is an “algorithm,” including listing all posts in chronological order.

        Wanting “no algorithm” is like wanting food with “no chemicals” in it and not realizing that carbs, fats, proteins, etc. are “chemicals.”
