In plain words

Veridonia is a social feed platform where communities, rather than algorithms, determine what content is visible to users. Instead of relying on automated recommendations, the platform empowers community members to collectively decide which posts gain prominence. It's designed for people seeking a social experience shaped by human judgment and community values rather than algorithmic curation.

From the sources

Veridonia is a social app where people write posts, share and discuss news and links. No algorithm or ranking formula picks what to show in the feed. Everything that gets in is decided by people like you.

Veridonia is a social app where people write posts, share and discuss news and links. No algorithm or ranking formula picks what to show in the feed. Everything that gets in is decided by people like you. This is what that looks like: We wanted three things a simple upvote can’t give you. Each one is why the vote you just watched is built the way it is. On a typical upvote feed, the top is whatever got piled on fastest — usually by the loudest or the best-organized. Here every post had to clear a real vote by your community’s own members, so the feed is what members of your community judged worth reading, not what won a popularity race. Upvotes are free and anonymous, so they cost no one…from veridonia.com

    Hey, I am Victor, a french student. I was tired of getting really bad recommandations from the algorithm, always the same videos, same topics. So I created a community-driven recommandation tool, with upvotes like Product Hunt or Hacker News. Looking for something to watch or want to share something you liked? Feel free to check the site, it's free, no account needed (unless you want to share or upvote a video).

  • Filter out engagement bait and politics on your X/Twitter feed2025 · unbaited.danielpetho.com · ▲71

    hi friends! i'm pretty tired of engagement bait and all the political nonsense on my x/twitter feed. i was curious if i could use an llm to filter out these type of content, so i prototyped a quick chrome extension. it uses LLama 3.3 to analyze the tweet through https://groq.com/ (because they are super-super fast). the extension is available in the chrome store, also there is a link to the repo. - you can tweak the system prompt for the filtering - but you need your own API key from Groq (you can get one for free)

    Community Detection on Bluesky2025 · blue.facts.dev · ▲19

    We ran the Leuven community detection algorithm on popular users on Bluesky (where the graph has edges determined by Jaccard similarity of a users' followers). We identified 118 communities and based on the names and descriptions of the top 10-20 users had LLMs generate title and descriptions for them. There are communities like "Feline enthusiasts", "Web Professionals", a bunch of NSFW ones and quite many communities are many different flavors of progressive/liberal activists.

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
