    While I think this is un enforceable, I started to be careful what I click.

    Just one click can ruin my feed.

    And it is boring watch all the same stuff in the feed. I have many different interests, just put them all in there don’t focus only on the last one.

    I don’t understand why do they do it. Diverse content will engage me more.

      yes, it got to a point where i tried to game the algorithms once on one of these platforms to get the type of content i want and nothing else. instead it started showing me the most disturbing shit imaginable. i eventually started to report the content but the more i reported it the more of that shit it would show me like i was some kind of unpaid moderator they wouldn’t need to cover with PTSD bills.

      i have since moved on from algorithm-fueled platforms. i just do not understand the appeal of all the hate and bullshit it brings “for advertising engagement” that this whole bluesky fanbase is advertising like something good and useful.
