    I really hope this gets a proper foss “for you” algo. Personalized content and people discovery features are lacking on the fediverse.

      This is entirely possible through Mastodon/Misskey apps but not having it bound to local data would be awesome. Predictive engines are something most people want an ethical alternative for.

    Everybody’s heads are up their asses about this. It’s a great idea for a fediverse thing.

    The real issue is nobody can use it because the damn confirmation emails don’t get sent.

    People who care about decentralisation, privacy and data sovereignty etc are usually smart enough to understand that endless feeds of short form video is the new asbestos. You’d have better luck selling big macs to vegans.

      Yep. Agreed - except it is yet another avenue for monetization should it take hold. People keep acting like the fediverse is some kind of incorruptible platform.
