Bluesky Directory
In computer science an algorithm refers to a set of instructions that a computer follows to solve a problem or perform a task.
In social media algorithms are typically used for sorting through posts in a user feed.
Before the use of algorithms, posts where typically shown in reverse chronological order, the most recent posts first.
Bluesky offers algorithmic choice, rather than being forced to use the algorithm they create. Bluesky allows anyone to come up with their own algorithm for sorting users posts. These algorithms can be used to create feeds, which users can choose to follow.
