   From this post by Not Just Bikes:

   I’ve been on Bluesky for less than 48 hours and my feed is already way more useful than on Mastodon, despite following only a couple of people.

   I really don’t understand Mastodon’s aversion to discovery algorithms. Algorithms aren’t inherently evil, and I would argue that they’re necessary for social media to function.

   The odds of me staying here are pretty slim when it’s almost impossible for people to find my stuff, and for me to discover new people, without doing a bunch of manual work.

   I have to do a quote share because I can’t grab the original post here.

     If you don't like aspects of a platform that the frequent users of said platform do like, you can always move to a different one. You aren't obligated to stay here.

     @nik The guy came from the world where that is normalized. It's like falling in love with your captor.

     @tk smh, nobody wants to work anymore, if you want people to see your stuff simply organically build a following on your own merit instead of gaming an algorithm

     @Twitter_expat @tk yea, whinging about which platform gets upvotes is usually a tell tail sign of their relationship to algorithms.

     If tis guy is the same one on Youtube he is inherently an "Influencer". He depends on people watching his videos on YouTube and of course loves the algo that promotes them. Good for him. Now coming to the #fediverse and talk trash of the people in the #fediverse is a big LOL. This guy advocates for better and more livable cities and now trashes the user who love the fediverse? LOL what an ASSHOLE. He has destroyed the reputation he had.

     @nik @tk

     “Algorithms” … sure.

     Tools that empower people to find each other, build communities, get the information that’s important to them and make some sense of the firehose of a simple reverse-chron feed … sounds humane frankly.

     @maegul@hachyderm.io @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com these tools should be human-driven and built into strong platform UX, not black box suggestion algorithms with [insert bias]
