...and we see the result of that, an incredibly boring community. No wonder so many people leave. Without an algo, it's simply awful. That's why Lemmy is already 10x more interesting with basic rating algo systems.
Weird. I have exactly the opposite experience with Mastodon. Without the algorithm it's been great. I get the content I look for instead of the content some ragebait-mongering corporate entity thinks I need to see so that I stick around and click their ads.
I get more useful and/or interesting content on Mastodon than I ever got on Twitter before I ditched it.
Would like to see your feed because after months of tweaking and following hash tags, my feed is still boring.
