"The other way I worry about the way Algorithms are changing us is just the currency of the attention economy ... of likes, of retweets. They're value-free measurements ... In the same way that money is. The question is not; was this insightful, was it correct. It's; how many, how much."

This critique applies to the fediverse too.

Have you ever felt like someone that you're not?
Like you're living a life that everyone forgot?
And someone's standing in your shoes
But they sure don't look like you
Have you ever felt like someone that you're not?
Are you on the run like a refugee?
Seeking shelter from the person you could be?
If you just slow down and wait
You can manage all the hate
And you might like what you see
[Chorus]
But never mind
That part of me got left behind
Happiness is hard to find…
