Algorithm is math not magic

Wonderful example of how to surface information to an user while respecting their privacy, with transparency, and still providing a self-curated experience.

Edit: what happens if I turn a quote post into a blog? Also, did it spam everyone with a notification of an edit? (Sorry, but testing account gotta be testing)

    weird, on GotoSocial using Phanpy I don't see your post that this quoted. I do see quoted posts from other platforms even though GtS doesn't support it yet (the version I'm running at least). The quoted post url is in the quoter's post maybe? I'll find some screenshots of both scenarios and send them to you later.

    @stefano I'm doing weird things to find the edges. Here's one. If I take a quote post and then turn it into a blog two observations:

    • The first line is treated as the blog title, which in this case was just one line and it got cut off. This makes sense for how blogging needs to work but an observation.
    • The blog post retains no connection to the original post being quoted. While there are a lot of considerations around embedding any of that content, I do think it should post a link to the original post in the blog as a top level metadata type field. What do you think?
