@mmasnick Mike, this is a great write up. These ideas (composable moderation combined with a marketplace for algorithms) can and should be implemented via . There's no technical reason why this can't happen via the developer community here in the Fediverse.

@mike@flipboard.social @mmasnick I've beat this drum a lot. Everything that Bluesky is proposing can be done right now in Mastodon via the client. Open API and open source allow you to theoretically have a client that could offer you algorithmic curation/moderation of your feeds. You could even have a market place of interchangeable algorithms between clients. Open beats black box.

@mike@thecanadian.social @mike@flipboard.social yup. I hope that people take up the opportunity to do the same here, but every time I've suggested similar things here in the past, people get... shouty... about how algorithms are bad. I love it here, but some of the rigid norms get frustrating.

@mmasnick @mike@flipboard.social That's the Buety of doing it client side. Don't want algorithms use a different app. Mastodon is the engine but all the good stuff can happen in the app.
