    It will also come with an open source “For You” algorithm. I’ve been wishing the fediverse do this since I joined and it took literally banning TikTok for it to happen in the span of a few months by dansup for Loops, who thankfully has a favorable outlook on the use of algorithms on the fediverse.

      It’s easy to forget that algorithms were originally added to social media as a benefit to the user. It’s easy to miss the content you want to see when you follow lots of accounts.

      I would love to see an algorithm that allows for manual adjustment. Kagi search allows a user to raise or lower the priority of individual results. I can’t think of another platform or service that does this explicitly. Most do it implicitly through various forms of engagement.
