@harald @kefir Jeg er jo i grunnen enig, og når profitt må balanseres mot etikk og ansvar så trengs tydeligvis håndheving.
Selv "kronologisk" er jo en algoritme, den er bare ikke så spennende eller smart eller styrt av profitt. Og jeg må innrømme at jeg ikke var klar over "Explore" som har dukket opp i nyere versjoner av mastodon, som sorterer på noe vis etter "gaining traction". Hubzilla kjenner jeg ikke til. 🙂
Som nevnt er annet sted i diskusjonen, så er det heldigvis noe fokus på disse mørke algoritmene. Blir spennende å se hva som kommer ut av dette, men dette er viktig.

Stuff I don't get about #federation. I'm in the process of moving accounts, so I have two. Here's one of my posts with the visible replies, seen from the account that started the thread and from the other account on a different instance. How come I'm missing most of the conversation when looking at this from another instance? #confused

why call it bird site when ‘the fowl place’ is right there and a much better pun
@chrishuck @FreeCAD @f I learn a lot by watching seasoned users create their cad models. There's so much functionality in a tool like freecad, and I remember my first encounters where I had an idea for a model in my head but I had no idea how I was meant to use this tool to create that model. Over time I've learned some techniques, but I can still struggle as parts get more complex. I'll miss the best approach to start, to avoid cludges and poor references down the road. (That said, I don't watch so many live streams, but I'll binge watch them after the fact.)
@bloodaxe jeg har tro på at algoritmer kan hjelpe meg å finne positivt og interessant innhold som jeg ikke hadde funnet på min egen kronologiske tidslinje. Om disse forslagene skal flettes inn i tidslinjen er egentlig ikke opplagt, men om det hadde vært et sted å se gode forslag så ville jeg nok sett på det.
(Jeg venter for øvrig på at noen lager mastodon-bots som booster mest boosta/mest likte tuter, evt innenfor språk og tema. Det kan vel hvem som helst lage, og om noe sånt blir populært så er vi kanskje i gang her og?)
Det foregår for øvrig innsatser for å gjøre noe med disse ukjente algoritmene. https://algorithmic-transparency.ec.europa.eu/index_en

Jeg vet ikke om total mangel på algoritmer er beste løsning, slik som det er på mastodon. Men når algoritmene til stadighet drar barn og folk for øvrig ned i usunne eller farlige ekkokamre, så er det bedre om de kuttes til man får kontroll på skadene. https://www.nrk.no/vestfoldogtelemark/tiktoks-algoritmer-drar-barn-inn-i-en-verden-av-ekstrem-trening-og-vektnedgang-1.16183933 #Norsktut #norsk

After @ElonMusk@twitter.com took over #Twitter there's never been, according to researchers, "such a sharp increase in hate speech, problematic content and formerly banned accounts in such a short period on a mainstream social media platform," reports @nytimes@twitter.com. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/02/technology/twitter-hate-speech.html?smid=tw-share

RT @DylanOgline@twitter.com
Just saw somebody try to argue that minimum wage isn't supposed to be a living wage. That their small business can't afford to pay a living wage.
If the only way your business can exist is the exploitation of labor (aka peoples actual lives), then your business should not exist.

@Jarlethorsen maybe I was just really unlucky. Found a random user on the local feed, and follows/followers are plenty but lists are empty. Is this a user setting?
@Jarlethorsen actually, even looking at a user on my own site qoto.org, a user that has lots of follows/followers simply show empty lists.
Is it like that for you as well, or could it be an issue on qoto?
@Jarlethorsen I don't get this. Is it because it always uses cached federated info, and never gets updated from the source? I don't see why the user has to click through to a web browser on another site to see the updated info. I guess it should either be fetched by my mastodon server from the remote site and cached there, or even pulled directly by my client from that site. As it is, it's useless.

🔖 Statistical code in a high-impact medical journal
A journal started asking authors to submit code with their manuscripts. They then analysed the next 314 papers accepted
87% denied using code, even when publishing substantial statistical analysis
10% used code but refused to share it with the journal
For the few that provided code, none scored even moderately on basic quality criteria

@orci A seal ion is surely a positive or negative seal. I guess a seal is neutral then.

Looking at other people's Followers so often simply shows an empty result, even if a significant number was shown in the profile. What's the point of the profile Followers / Following in an app when it's always virtually empty?
