Why Does Bluesky Use an Algorithm If It's Decentralized
Why Does Bluesky Use an Algorithm If It's Decentralized
I recently started using Bluesky and noticed something interesting. Under the "Getting Started" section, it says things like "Teach our algorithm what you like." Bluesky is supposed to be decentralized, so why does it even have an algorithm? Isn’t the whole point of decentralization to avoid centralized control, including things like content algorithms? Is this algorithm centralized, or is it designed to run locally within the decentralized structure (like on individual servers)?
You're viewing a single thread.
There are lots of users' made algorithms and the main feed is one of them by the Bluesky, you can unsubscribe to it (AFAIK), I have one for myself and anyone else interested in the said topic of it.
The main feed also can mix every other feed you signed up for.
