“In the absence of an algorithm there is only your own creative compass.”

In the #Fediverse I discovered people like @ewen who understood the impacts algorithms had on creativity. I felt the same sense of suffocation as a writer.

In other spaces besides #Mastodon such as #Twitter nobody really understood my angst against it and thought I was strange. “It doesn’t matter what you think. Suck it up,” said an SEO guru to me once.

Great article 😍 I felt seen.
