Picture is my bookbag that I wore to the no kings day celebration in fort Walton Beach, Florida. There's little coverage of it so I thought it would worth blogging on the fediverse about it

This is more about getting feedback/criticism for the idea that fedizens should run programs that monitor what they engage with similar to how Facebook,YouTube, or any corporate online service would simply so you can use it to run algorithms for find content you might like.

The key thing is that you only share the your data consentual at this point the data will stay locally stored.

I try to get a pulse anti algorithms crowd and it's hard to figure out if they're against algorithms generically or just specific platforms. People leave twitch because that also pushes people to be more commercial or capitalist.

The idea came up when I built peertube recommendation algorithm I got the part built for tracking watch time on peertube videos and I thought "track YouTube watch time and engagement to make peertube suggestions".

thinking about making a program that recommends videos that are on peertube. likes, titles, descriptions, and even closed caption can be collected locally and compared to the local users liked videos and watch time to rank videos the local user would like to watch.

later on there could be a server that people can willingly choose to send their data to build a better recommendation program.

I'm still in the research phase of this, but from my experience even implementing basic concepts would be effective

I know there is an anti algorithm crowd but this is opt in so this should be fine

A specific example from me would be implementing LLM AI into my code (genetically) and without more details than that I'll get people demanding that I don't do that and giving suggestions for what I should do.

Suggestions are cool, but I'm gonna ask why I should not put LLM in my code in a generic sense just to have my question ignored or have lies and insults hurled my way

It's cool if you want to answer that question, I'm just curious about other people's similar story about receiving resistance to follow up questions if you just have to say those people aren't worth it or you feel like you missed something you shouldn't have in those situations.

felt cute might delete later

Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there's a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I'm curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?

side note: I'm trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.

I started a c/ for owncast and peertube [email protected] . so far its just been me and a bot generating content for it. the bot just post stats of who has the most hours streamed and most views, along with those that streamed most recently at the time a post was made.

I pinned a comment of a curated list of fediverse streamers (their stream url and mastodon handle), https://lemmy.world/post/26651394 . the list excludes and radio and TV streams and the streamers are people that you can interact with

Its a work in progress. but it should give more engagement with lemmy, also I am open to suggestions.

not something id want to do but id suggest a twitch community, since the twitch subreddit is a really big community

So I purposed that for Lemmy and mastdon a bot that post links to YouTube videos and news articles relevant the city I live in, and I got push back on suggesting the idea. I suggesting this bot because my city isn't big enough to pump out content everyday and the links would seed content for a Lemmy community so that its not empty.

I have looked into city subReddit and for my city links to news stories are basically non existent and big city like NYC news article links are rare, but do get engagement.

I have been told that link bots don't help with empty communities and something about redundancy.

I do look at politics community and that's nothing but links.

I'm asking for general perspective from both sides

So I'm trying to workshop a bot that post news to accounts and communities based on American countries. I have looked into rss feeds and not every news source has one so it seems more like I have to go the scraper route. I decided to start with YouTube links because YouTube has an API and that would make it easy to get the information from. I'm hoping to make this open sourced, and im figure out a software structure.

The hole idea is to build up niches in fediverse to keep people retaining hopefully I can this program easy enough to use
