@FediTips One thing I saw no one mentioning is that it's weird how the meaning of the word "algorithm" shifted from "a set of instructions to solve something" to "a non-open-source recommendation system made to make users addicted to a platform". In the original sense Mastodon has lots of algorithms, and in the newer sense it has recommendation algorithms (like the who to follow and the trending tab) but those are open-source and not meant to drive addiction.
