... but I also am much more interested in a parametric algorithm that lets you rank based on an explicit set of derived features, rather than any sort of ML model. The implementation of "lists that also accept posts" is extremely general, so you could plug in anything to that, and so I'm dissociating the literal algorithm part from the masto fork that supports arbitrary algorithms.
@f00fc7c8 @anova the much touchier side of this imo is opting out of having your posts ranked/scraped/etc. like imo I think a bot that caches your home/local feed for some short period is basically the same as what any mobile app would do, but ideally it would be possible for people to opt out of even that - which points to a need for richer metadata at the account/post level, which is also something I'll be exploring by trying to expose arbitrary JSON-LD in posts
@f00fc7c8 @anova and something I had been thinking about with @axz recently was how to make/use shortnames in posts/accounts, so it would be nice to be able to, eg. make a schema/etc. in something like JSON-LD that describes your account's disposition towards bots, or your particular set of algo params like @jonny:rules:bots, or @jonny:algo:timezoneCorrection so they could be reused/swapped/modified/etc.
@f00fc7c8 @anova @axz ideally long-term I would like to generalize this so you can declare any sort of post formatting/field structure/as a schema and then be able to use it s.t. other clients could consume it with reference to your schema (as opposed to the way eg. glitch-soc can do markdown but base masto just renders as plaintext). those ideas are over here, but still need work: https://jon-e.net/infrastructure/#documents--notebooks
