A good Fediverse prediction for 2026:
"The new “#activityrank” algorithm in #loops will prove that ethical recommendations & decentralization can coexist. @dansup’s approach—where each instance trains its own #algorithm while surfacing content across the #activitypub network—will be recognized […]

My entire X timeline is anti-EU posts from people I don't follow.
Even if I change it from 'for you' to 'following', it switches back to 'for you' each time I open the site.
X is being weaponised against the EU. And unfortunately X is still the public square for European journalists & politicians.
