Dear #fediverse friends,

Stop saying "there's no algorithm here".

"Chronological" *is* an algorithm.

It has pros, and it has cons.

Which means, at the moment I don't have any algorithmic freedom on Mastodon.

To make this post a bit spicier: on Twitter we can choose 2 algorithms, on Bluesky many.

Lack of algorithmic freedom is a feature for some, a bug for others. But let's call it by its name.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
