A religion is just a meme that people take seriously.
Gonna be a whole generation of artists and musicians who think their art isn't good because of the way algorithms work online
Used to be that great art attracts great attention. However I see many bands who are amazing who get something like 2 plays on youtube, or their tweets sink without a trace. I wonder how many of these young kids are gonna give up their artform because of this?

Delicate Balance
A person that lives without any rules like an animal, a person that stictly follws rules without exceptions is like a machine. Neither is desirable. Wisdom is having the experience and judgement to know when to do which.
Oh god, we're about 10 years away from Zoomers grumbling that "kids these days wont know what Tweeting is!"
The opposite of "Ladies and Gentlemen" would be "Whores and Scoundrels".

Hot take: developing an open source For You algorithm for mastodon that shows you posts based on your likes inbetween every other chronological post would be great
If we had an open source algorithm for Mastodon/Pixelfed that learned based on the words in the post and image/video we could have a Following + For You feed that showed you all the posts from people you follow and you could choose to see, say, 1 recommended For You post after every 3 posts from your Following feed.
