Can you expand on this Bill: "The purity of the feed and lack of algorithms"

Doesn’t drive me to despair for humanity. Isn’t as addictive as the other place. The purity of the feed and lack of algorithms can make it a little dull (use for you) but that’s probably what makes it less addictive (a good thing).

Hi πŸ™‚
Pros: Far far less hate speech, aggression, misinformation and bigotry than X
Cons: Doesn't seem to have as many UK educators as the other place. Or perhaps I just haven't found them yet

Thoroughly enjoyed hosting the @ttradioofficial.bsky.social special tonight: β€œWhat will GCSE maths look like in 2030?” with OCR.
It was so good that @dylanwiliam.bsky.social joined the conversation (over at the other place…) 😱
So if I was you, I’d listen/watch here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=xaNl...

Before spending hours telling teachers what new found research that they need to know about for their teaching, make sure the behaviour they are being confronted with is manageable enough that they can think about more than just surviving another day.
