It's Alex Unemployment's archnemesis.

It's time to accept that with every passing second, your body irreversibly degrades. In every instant of life, death becomes closer and closer until it eventually consumes your consciousness and turns you into a lump of organic matter.

Which is like 3:45 pm. You're welcome! :)

No censorship here. Could've guessed with the instance's name but still good to know! Thanks :)

Oh ok, I've never used kbin so I was curious. Also: You're welcome :)

Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou / I’m in Love with the Villainess

It was in the post's content. Is it not visible on kbin maybe?

Yup, that's what my dentist recommends. If you do that, just make sure you have a toothbrush and toothpaste which doesn't hurt your teeth :)

It would also be prone to recreating the SEO mess that we can see today

I think federation should solve that though?

Ah, yeah you're probably right my bad. Big data isn't my speciality so I can't say much about that :/

No. If you want to run an algorithm you should run it on your computer and not on somebody else's.

Ignoring the fact that having a proper recommendation AI for every single user would be environmentally disastrous, it would also place much more burden on the ones hosting instances. Keep in mind that most instances are hosted by people who do not earn anything from them and that many bigger instances already had to rent bigger servers because of the influx of people. Adding computationally expansive algorithms in the mix would just increase the cost for the volunteers on top of signing the death of some smaller instances run on a tight budget.

It would also be prone to recreating the SEO mess that we can see today on social medias like youtube where, if you want to grow your community, satisfying the algorithm becomes more important than the actual content of your posts.

However, I would have no issues with an algorithm that a user of an instance could run on their devices and tweak to their liking. This solution would probably be less convenient but would avoid most of the mess.

EDIT: Sorry if my comment came out as too aggressive and thank you for making this post. I think that's an important issue to discuss and, as thanks for bringing it up, you have my upvote :)

Preposterous.

Just like humans, waffles are social creatures. They simply rely on toppings to become a better version of themselves. They are accepting of all cultures, be it sugar, syrup, chocolate or even strawberry jam. This is because as Friedrich Nietzsche said: "There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths." One topping simply cannot be the true topping.

Once a topping is placed on the waffle, it becomes part of the waffle. Part of its taste, part of its existence. It completes it. Therefore to say that a waffle is bland because it has no topping is like saying that a human is incapable of anything because you once saw a lone human in nature get eaten by a wolf.

Waffles are a reflection of humanity and you are simply running away.
