Watching #Supergirl:
Me: How can people who know Kara look at Supergirl and not be like "oh my god Kara is Supergirl??"
Hero/villain: *takes off their mask to reveal that they are a familiar character from earlier in the episode/show*
Me, faceblind: Who the heck is that?
This isn’t even self-serving, cause I don’t want to date men.
But I heard this advice the other day, and this filter will absolutely improve the quality of men in your romantic sphere.
the project will be open source, of course, but the source code will also be in a format usable and editable only with accessibility features. it will be abled-hostile at every level
After a few conversations, here's my conclusion:
1. There's no AI/ algo here controlling the flow of what people view.
2. Birdsite's AI/ algo (perhaps intentionally?) favors content with high emotion/ confrontation/ anger because it elicits reality-TV reactions
3. My content (like me) is very non-edgy, non-confrontational. I'm happy to be sweet, analytical, funny and soothing.
4. Therefore, I'm invisible on birdsite, and the absence of an algo actually favors #chill #pleasant content here.
a bug, not a feature.
