Loqi [@OpenMentions] What is something #smolweb / #indieweb / #bloggers do that social media doesn't or can't do? (https://indieweb.social/@OpenMentions/114427344120122662)
#
[tantek] what is a chronological timeline
#
Loqi chronological timeline is a redundant phrase (timelines are inherently chronological, because they are *time*lines) used to refer to a chronological feed https://indieweb.org/chronological_timeline
#
[artlung] I have a visceral negative reaction to the parenthetical pedantry there. Useless self-congratulatory gotcha. It’s an idiom people use.
#
[tantek] How do you feel about ATM machine?
#
[artlung] Pointing out it’s wrong to people is an asshole move. Let people speak.
#
[artlung] People come to the wiki for utility first, not snark. Snark is okay balanced with value.
#
[tantek] True
#
[tantek] better to document the sinister unspoken part, of "chronological timeline" implying that it's ok that there are non-chronological timelines and normalizing the user-unfriendly "algorithmic timeline"
#
[artlung] Made an edit.
#
[artlung] Oh I like the distinction
#
[artlung] Ought to add that if it exists
#
[artlung] What is an algorithmic timeline
#
Loqi algorithmic timeline (sometimes non-chronological timeline) is a doublespeak phrase propagated by silos (and some popular media) to refer to social media algorithmic feed feature(s), as a timeline is "a display of a list of events in chronological order"[1], whereas silos now (since 2016+) use "timeline" to refer to often out of chronological order display of aggregations of following's posts which still presentationally resemble previous chronologically ordered displays https://indieweb.org/algorithmic_timeline
#
[artlung] Added cross link.
#
[tantek] it wasn't already? huh
#
[artlung] [tantek]++ for pointing out the distinction! Yes, was not there. Much improved.
