details on how I built a bluesky feed generator, complete with managing real-time events off the firehose and performing ML classification tasks, using Go and Python.
Yeah I understand some basic need. Like. Feeds are updated. But not this ‘imma track everything you click or say or do’ then profile you and funnel trash to you.
I do get there is some nuance in there. I just knee-jerked thinking we are already moving back toward what we try to get away from.
OP here — my aim with this post was to help others understand what’s behind “the algorithm” and help others create their own customizations.
I definitely did not mean to do anything that will regress us towards the vibe of billionaire-controlled platforms. If you think there’s a better way to phrase things that highlights transparency and getting away from the black boxes that run most mainstream platforms, very open to feedback!!
Some days I put trueeffort into checking things deeper. Sometimes I’m more ‘cursory’ looking. Usually I try not to comment without looking to avoid this exact situation.
However. Foot meet mouth. Your post is great and I simply didn’t read it deeper before commenting. I apologize medhir.
