me: mastodon is so bleak. i wonder how reddit is doing. surely it's more fun there...

reddit: everyone from queer eye is a dick. taylor swift is mean. these parents don't treat their kids right. i just sharted in the bed next to my boyfriend. hemorrhoid surgery anime.

me: apparently i live in the good place already.

@lritter my mastodon is full of pretty pictures :D

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva apparently my timeline is in need of balance.

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva maybe timelines have PH levels. too acidic / too basic.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter following more art hash tags, muting people who misuse them, and adding lots of filters can help balance your timeline's PH levels

[gnarly_parker@chaos.social]

@aeva @lritter Agreed. And not all hypebots are the same. Some are curated in a way that is actually fun (at least most of the time).

@gnarly_parker @aeva what's a hypebot?

[gnarly_parker@chaos.social]

@lritter @aeva A bot that boosts the most popular toots. But of course bot makers shape a lot what they include/exclude. Try following this one to see if you hate it: https://tldr.nettime.org/@hypebot

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@gnarly_parker @lritter I think that bot is broken I don't see any of my bangers on there

[gnarly_parker@chaos.social]

@aeva @lritter :( It probably misses a lot of favs because mastodon.gamedev.place is not in https://codeberg.org/tante/hypebot-config/src/branch/main/config.yaml
