hotOrNot··on Attention Media ≠ Social Networks
I find the algorithmic feeds literally horrible on twitter. Algorithmic feeds only work with video content/short form I feel like

Yup, feeling the same way. Mastodon needs to leverage a friends graph somehow

A followers graph is much more stable. You can have 1m followers but you can't have 1m friends
hotOrNot··on Web 2.0 vs. AI where is the fucking dynamism
You are right on that. I just miss the way that just normal dudes could just build something and it having a good chance of becoming INSANELY viral overnight

I do agree, but I also wanna point out that back then you did not have to be a phd or a researcher to do something. You could do something in a weekend (something that people want) and then hope that you can INSANELY viral. Nowadays the small actors have it somehow worse in that respect, I feel like.
