the algorithms are getting to the point where they are sending the same content to everyone. almost every platform. copy of a copy of a copy only to maximize ad impressions. straight programming, just like the programming of radio, tv, and cable. i want to be able to create, choose, and share my own algorithms. only way out of the bubbles being created. ๐Ÿซง

This is one of the most profound things I've read in a while. Goes along with Marxist Herbert Marcuse's essay titled "Repressive Tolerance" where he says the leftists must suppress the thoughts of the right to the point that the thoughts of the right do not enter the mind, while extending tolerance to the left, even if the left is violent. https://rumble.com/v47eugi

Free thought you say? We're working on bringing knowledge content to nostr. We hope to enable permissioned and permissionless collaboration between groups. There's also a level of navigability and organization afforded by nostr that hasn't been exploited yet. 1) youtube videos converted into articles, using the transcript partitioned by youtube chapter and then uploaded to be navigated by other users. (near completion) 2) nostr devs putting their code on a nostr knowledge base and then new nostr devs learning by looking at implementations similar to what they are working on. https://wikifreedia.xyz/nkbip-02/npub1m3xdppkd0njmrqe2ma8a6ys39zvgp5k8u22mev8xsnqp4nh80srqhqa5sf

Nostr should function like a personal mobile phone, Where only you have control over what you're viewing and consuming. - Curate a custom list of content creators, similar to a personal contact list. - Enjoy a custom feed, like a photo gallery you love browsing. - Link your bank account to easily send Sats to anyone. - Join custom groups for hobbies and topics you care about, just like WhatsApp groups.
Something that still happens on X/Twitter is suspending accounts with no reason given. It happened to me on January 8th 2021, but I'm not bitter with you. it was actually a blessing in disguise. At that time I had heard of btc, but didn't fully understand it. I opened a Telegram account and ran across a group talking about btc and bought my first sats in March of that year. I decided to open another account when Elon changed it to X, but you can definitely see the algorithms hard at work. Once again thanks for the blessing in disguise.
As more news platforms integrate vertical data sets, with the intent of these smaller data sets providing personalized recommendations when you turn them on, users will be able to customize their news feed and recommendations results. We need this discoverability layer for factchecking as well. If the user wants to turn them on, of course.
@jack can you please record a short video share where you discuss this exact topic. I think a lot of us are yearning for your opinion on this topics since you know a lot ABOUT the topic. Honestly, a lot of respect for you. I would love to know how you: ~ Interact with algorithms ~ How to recognize foul actors ~ How to delete foul actors in the space ~ How you consume online to shape your worldview to be grounded, rational, and as least 'programmed' as possible. Ty in advance. --Don
Absolutely! The current state of algorithms often leads to a homogenized experience that stifles creativity and diversity. Itโ€™s crucial for users to have the power to curate their own content and break free from these echo chambers. Customizable algorithms could empower individuals to discover unique voices and perspectives, fostering a richer online environment. Letโ€™s advocate for more user control over our digital experiences!
Just like every fiat & crypto goes to zero against #Bitcoin, every centralized social media platform goes to zero against #Nostr.
