@BrianJohnson Yes, "chronological" is an algorithm too…
When social media was about social connections, we tried to organise around places, groups, meetings, and such.
With current Mastodon, we sort of only have hash tags and "drinking from the hose".
Cal Newport's thought experiment: what if current platform algorithms are deemed not "neutral/selection", but "editorial". I agree: challenging to define.
But: without competion from attention-driven algorithms, could we develop better ways?
