Kate BowlesRe that last boost from @Furthering, it’s a bead on a rich thread with replies that’s just wonderful on curation and recommendation as moral acts that rewild the algorithmic landscape. The detail about dancing bees connected to something equally wonderful I learned about from @futurebird yesterday: trophallaxis.
The point here is that even though the means of tying these two threads together isn’t easy or convenient, the work of searching for them and figuring out how to connect them and recommend that connection to others is the whole point that attention farming misses. We aren’t just content consumers, we are moving together across a terrain of risk, threat and joy. For our survival we listen to those we trust and try to be trustable in return, because we all depend on each other’s knowledge.
