Opaque algorithms are a funny thing.
Over on #Threads, my "Following" feed does consistently have more things in it that are interesting to me than my "For you" feed.
I've been observing this for a few weeks now, and it's consistent.
Seem the cost function might be optimizing for something other than what I like? Or is the signal not good enough because …

I grabbed the second in the Midsolar Murders series, “Chaos Terminal,” because the first was pleasant and a space murder mystery seemed fun.
The editing was so poorly done that I had to keep re-reading entire sections, my mental image of a crime scene or interview blown up by it.
These images are spoilers, obviously. If you look…
1. Where is Reggie?
2. When does Mallory stand?
3. Is she talking *to* or *about* Parker?
And I only started taking pics at the end…

Future televisions will use real-time spatio-temporal generative AI to create compelling ultra-realistic video experiences by filling in missing detail including the fine textures lost due to bandwidth and storage limitations.

So, I've been recently having a conversation with several folk about Slack vs Discord and which platform may be more advantagous for organizing events and building community. I and others were surprised to learn of how wide the gulf is on various people's ranges of experiences on each service, in terms of community, harassment, security tools, and users feeling welcomed.
I recognize that my experience as a femme-presenting person who uses my real identity is different from that of an anonymous person with a profile photo showing a bearded guy in a Patagonia vest holding up an IPA. This tracks with the discussions I've had today: tech bros generally seem to lean toward one platform while all of my other business-owning women friends opt to steer away from that service almost entirely.
If you're femme and use your real identity online, do you have a preference for Slack or Discord? Have you ever opted out of using either Slack or Discord? In addition to discussion of general vibes and security tools, we also can all recognize that there are some surveillance/privacy tradeoffs in play, as well. (Just as, if you're an organizer, maybe you have thoughts about which service offers tools or features or pricing that steers you one way or another, as well?)
What are your stories on this topic?

the capitialist paperclip maximizer recruitment funnel:
It isn't weird that it happens. It's weird how consistently it happens and how consistent the replies are despite coming from unrelated friends. None of them take my actual context into consideration. It's like we've all internalized an Amway recruitment script without realizing it.
