Imagine, getting force-fed posts by a company whose business goal is to eliminate your agency in favor of their algorithm isn't very engaging. Add user agency back in, and you get engagement. It's almost like they're the same thing!
- charcircuit 3y ago>Add user agency back in What do you mean by this? Twitter has following, likes, watch time, Not interested in this tweet, etc which give you agency on your recommendations. Mastadon gives you less agency over your feed because it has a primitive recommendation system which isn't able to find as relevant posts as twitter's can.
- philipov 3y agoWhat I mean is that people who actively participate in the service are more engaged than those who passively prune the output of a recommendation engine. Agency arises from having to do it yourself.
