No algorithms, WHATSOEVER, at the #fediverse, thankyew.
The exchange of convenience x freedom.privacy is never a good one.Those who choose convenience get all taken away. Invariably.

Hogescholen willen van TikTok af
De Vereniging Hogescholen heeft haar leden geadviseerd te stoppen met TikTok, omdat de privacy- en veiligheidsrisico’s te groot zijn: 'Het mediaplatform past niet bij onze publieke waarden'.

Oh oh, looks like #Bluesky is having issues again today. It may be another 50-50 odds a post will make it there today.
Advantage: #Mastodon, which keeps charging along just fine.
Place those bets, folks. 🎲
