I strongly feel that social media must become a pull based model instead of a push based model - so like RSS where I subscribe. On the client side, we should use simple machine learning and filtering to show content that is truly useful to us (I love to know what is happening is my sister's life).
The current setup of giving info to a company and that company pushing all sort of crap on me is not for me. Granted they could do the machine learning on their side but these for-profit ad driven corporations do not have the users best interest in mind. They just want to get us hooked.
Ghost can have this feature!
- apozem 9y agoI'm with you- I love RSS and hate Facebook's news feed. Unfortunately, that is one of the biggest reasons why the masses chose Facebook over Twitter. > Facebook, meanwhile, continued to add to the variety of posts available to their algorithmically generated feed. Yes, the early adopters who had gone to the trouble to tune their feed complained, but the real beneficiaries were users who didn’t want to go to the trouble of making sure they saw something interesting — whether related to friends and family or not — whenever they visited Facebook. And, starting in 2009, those users had even less motivation to get Twitter working: Facebook was good enough. https://stratechery.com/2016/how-facebook-squashed-twitter/ https://stratechery.com/2016/how-facebook-squashed-twitter/
