They want an algorithm.

As much as people mock it, or know it’s the source of why social media optimizes for outrage and other unhealthy behaviors, the algorithm is what they are missing on Mastodon.

As someone who always used third party Twitter apps, and never directly saw the algorithm in my timeline, mastodon feels like Twitter always did.

My favorite terrible emoji design is the thinking face Microsoft originally used:

Sounds like someone needs to make a community for that.

Otherwise, this is what technology is these days. And I’d say that staying blind to things like this is what got us into many messes.

I remember when tech news was mostly a press release pipeline. And when I see these comments, I see people who want press releases about new tech to play with.

Now duplicate posts. Those can fuck right off.

Are you sure the asset said “game ready”?

lol what? I’ve been using VRChat for almost 10 years and I’ve seen maybe 4-5 people with avatars that smoke.

I’ve never touched Roblox tho… I’m a bit offended that it’s considered a Metaverse.

I just can’t deal with betas anymore. I’m glad others take the plunge and report issues though.

I wish it used the native share sheet too. On iOS it always feels like it’s done this way out of spite. To avoid the native UI. It’s funny that the same thing is done on Android.

Damn. Thats impressive.

I want to start using this.

It’s also cool how it can update frequently and fast. It seems to get small updates most days right now.

I thought awards were fine. Though I used Apollo, and it tastefully displayed them and never had giant highlight boxes around comments or any other adornment nonsense.

In smaller communities they had symbolic value. In massive ones it was kinda just noise. But like I said, not really an issue on Apollo.

Hey fucker, this is beautiful.

It’s interesting. There are many songs from over the years about products the song writer likes.

I’m thinking about beers, and cars, and instruments, and various other things. Including games and movies and books.

It’s funny that once it’s a website, that crosses the line.

huh, I opted into the new layout months ago. I got use to it quickly.

Edit: I went back to discord to find the server tray/drawer the beta had disappeared. If this is the final version, I’m surprised people are upset. The drawer was the most radical change.

It’s a small lemmy.world.

I got this message the other day:

I’m another person who uses VR mostly for VRChat. I hang with friends, co-host a weekly movie night, and run/maintain The Great Pug. I host large parties for Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day. — If any lemmings would like to join the next event, or the Discord server, hit me up on Discord.

There’s a thing common to a lot of VRChat users in how they only play VRChat. It’s what VR is.

I have the original Beyond, and stick to PCVR. It’s where all the cool club spaces are too.

I also have a Vision Pro. And I use that mainly for watching movies and shows, and socializing with a close friend.

Right now, I’m looking forward to the day where VR feels less unfinished and janky. It surprises me just how Janky VR still is. And the jank is still present for a wide variety of reasons.

It sucks that religion is so fucked up broadly. We should be able to feel this way about all persons in similar positions as her.
