D2@mandy@cupoftea.social “serendipitous discovery” is what a newspaper brings. Used to bring.
Serendip on Fedi needs to be sated, so maybe we could add a ‘I’m feeling lucky’ button that grabs posts from local feed, federated feed.

️@cascheranno@hachyderm.io I feel like the Federated tab does that but I rarely go there. Pixelfed has the Explore tab which shows popular posts.

@mandy@cupoftea.social @cascheranno@hachyderm.io When you are following interesting people, you will get their interesting boosts, that’s pretty serendipitous already.

The more I think about it the more I get the feeling it’s all actually about neurodiversity, which is forming these fundamentally different preferences for social media.
Therefore, super interesting thread about the expectancies of neurotypicals. I cannot even imagine the want to have algorithms, ever since Twitter introduced them in 2015, I searched for ways to just read chronically.
Mandy 🥶 ☔️ 🌧️@frumble@chaos.social @phneutral@ruhr.social @cascheranno@hachyderm.io I wonder if there is research on that topic. Navigating the world socially is difficult enough, I guess we just want more predicability in our experience
