Ma voi la guardate mai la sezione notizie di Mastodon?

Da diversi anni ormai Mastodon ha introdotto una interessantissima sezione #notizie o #news.

Si tratta dei link più condivisi o contrassegnati come preferiti dai membri della vostra istanza. Un interessante indicatore quindi delle preferenze di altri utenti come voi.

La sezione news è raggiungibile a questo link:

poliversity.it/explore/links

ma a seconda della vostra distanza, potete raggiungerla digitando il link https://NOMEDELLAVOSTRAISTANZA/explore/links

Non tutte le istanze l'hanno attivata, perché potrebbe sembrare una eccessiva resa di fronte al potere degli algoritmi, Ma a differenza dei social commerciali, gli algoritmi di mastodon sono aperti e possono essere valutati da chiunque sia in grado di leggere la relativa documentazione.

Se la sezione risulta scarna è solo perché gli utenti dell'istanza sono un po' avari di ricondivisioni e stelline... 😅
