So I must have missed the memo about Mastodon now algorithmically inserting certain posts into people's feeds, even if they aren't following the account?

I generally think Eugen makes good design decisions (sometimes suboptimal due to trying to please everyone, but reasonable at least!) but cannot fathom the logic behind this one.

I'm not following and have never even seen this foodie account.

Edit: Advertisers are riding popular hashtags - in this case #NHS. I've updated the attached image.

Screencap of my news feed showing an account called Dining & Cooking. It's a bizarre story about how Brits have only just discovered what the olive oil bottle tab is for. The story features a close-up of the top of a bottle of olive oil as it is tipped and poured. I am not following this account, and the story is nonsense. Other users point out the NHS hashtag is sneakily buried among the others, explaining why I'm seeing it.

I commented somewhere recently that it's unfair to run a town without useful public transport because it encourages people to drive when they shouldn't and harm themselves and others.

Now we see that NHS staff fatigue combines with a lack of public transport to kill them, and others, on the roads.

Not running useful transport at all hospital shift changes is very cruel.

‘The report highlights instances of #deaf people receiving particularly poor #NHS care. In one instance, a woman was not provided with an interpreter, which meant she was unaware she had had a miscarriage.

Another example was a patient receiving no food or water during a hospital stay as they could not hear staff offering it to them.’

How did we end up here?

How can we improve situation?

If there's a technological silver bullet for the NHS crisis it may well be Electronic Patient Records.... but, this is not a new technology, its already been largely rolled out; the problem is more that it is not being utilised to anything like its full potential.

Why's that? Well we're back to the real problem in the NHS, the issue of over-stretched staff, weak work-force planning & insufficient support being given to help staff get to grips with EPRs.

"Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome cases in England much higher than first projected"

medicalxpress.com/news/2025-04

"There are almost two-thirds more people living with ME/CFS in England than previously thought, a study says. The new estimate suggests that approximately 404,000 people are affected by ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome), a 62% rise from the previously accepted figure of 250,000."

Professor Chris Ponting, study lead from the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh's Institute of Genetics and Cancer, said, "The NHS data shows that getting a diagnosis of ME/CFS in England is a lottery, depending on where you live and your ethnicity. There are nearly 200 GP practices—mostly in deprived areas of the country—that have no recorded ME/CFS patients at all. The data backs up what many people with ME/CFS say, that they feel invisible and ignored."
