    For me the weirdest part of the interview is where he says he doesn’t want to follow anyone, that he wants the algorithm to just pick up on his interests. It’s so diametrically opposed to how I want to intentionally use social networks and how the fedi tends to work that it’s sometimes hard to remember there are people who take that view.

      Omg, I have friends like this who are like “I don’t want to make decisions, I just want the algorithm to decide for me”

      I look at them like I just bumped into an alien in those moments. Have a brief “Maybe I shouldn’t be friends with you” but then reel myself in and think "they can’t be serious "

      Many people have this view. Us on the Fedi are unique in that we don’t, or didn’t before the mass Twitter émigré occurred.
