@catsalad I'm the algorithm?
YOU'RE the algorithm.
The whole frickin' system's the algorithm!

@catsalad Hah, the manifest of the necrobooster.
@catsalad Boost of the Necromancer
@catsalad s/even/especially/ 
@catsalad I profoundly agree what you say--remember to boost things here, even if the post is old! Totally true. But, even as a joke, something inside me don't want to laugh of the phrase 'you are the algorithm'--because it is exactly the type of view of the human being that Big Tech seems to try to instill. You are not the algorithm, but the life here, and that's why you should boost :-))
@i_dont_like_ai I like that phrase better!
@catsalad wait, are you saying... I'm old? 
@catsalad
Also worth noting that you can bookmark posts for surprise boosting later. Not necessarily browser bookmarks, Mastodon has a built-in bookmark feature too.
@catsalad
I am the algorithm,
mmmmm coffee!
@catsalad I love necroboosting. It's like discovering buried treasure
Isn't that nice? We people get to decide what we see. I joined Mastodon a few years ago and I lament the loss of the old, quiet social media ecosystem I found here. But because the fediverse allows for small, safe, spaces I know those communities live on elsewhere. I miss them but I get it!!
Oh, and cats! You can never have too many cats :3
@catsalad I’ll happily help feed the algorithm with cats

Please meet Jean-Michel
@catsalad here you go 
@catsalad Like potato chips, you can't have just one
@catsalad did someone say cats?
Not what I expected to happen, but a'ight. <3
@401matthall If it's too off brand for main, make another account (or 200 in my case) lol
