        Think we can get back to ways to find what we're looking for and away from algorithms that push garbage at us?

        Fix your damn algorithms. They aren't just neutral. They have no concept of right or wrong. We have to teach them that.

        That’s why AI can never replace MyI. IMO. Because MyI has feelings. It’s not just freaking algorithms.

        Yeah. I haven't had a chance read the paper yet (off-campus plus paywalls 😔) for methods & details, but this problem looks bad. recsys is going to kill someone if it hasn't already.

        This is an example of what talk about on other social networks... it is completely possible to weaponize people’s newsfeeds. I was depressed for a bit and had to stay away from social media because my newsfeeds seemed to amplify things that were triggering me.

        Agreed. My ideal social media is one where I "see" the entire feed (no server-side algorithmic filtering), but my client can (1) shadowban anyone I choose and (2) subscribe to other users' shadowban lists and use them to further filter my feed.
