11/12/2022, 5:59 PMIn the spirit of https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/C01932BJGE8/p1667060812550239, what are people's HN accounts? https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/CCL5VVBAN/p1667938218404019 is a superpower that lets me use HN like Twitter/Mastodon.

11/12/2022, 7:51 PMAdded![1] I love low-velocity feeds, whether it's RSS[2] or any other time-ordered feed. Those are precisely the comments that are easy to miss otherwise. And Twitter's algorithmics completely mess them up by introducing junk I didn't ask for. This list is a work in progress, though. Some people on it that are noisier than I would like. I basically had a list 10 years ago and am just starting to use it again.

11/15/2022, 9:52 PMOh good point, I should try the FoC list instead of my Home feed. At least until they get around to adding algorithmics to it.

11/15/2022, 9:54 PM(it would be funny if twitter ended up implementing the proposed "you get to choose your algorithm, and the algorithms will be open source" but also the algorithms you get to choose from happen to all be doing deals with advertisers, openly, in the source code)
