   Now, again, I don't want to just implement a single algorithm and foist it on everyone, I want to offer users a selection of algorithms and the tools required to understand and customize them. And yes, this will demand it's own effort and expertise from users, but I think that can be mitigated. Personally, I'd start users out with plain chronology, the current algorithm the majority of the Fediverse uses, and then try make it easy for users to upgrade?

     I will again defend the idea of using algorithms on mastodon. To put it simply, the effort and expertise required to maintain ones feed with the existing tools of Mastodon is more than most people are interested in investing, and rather than telling them they need to work harder and learn more until they leave, I think we'd be better off offering better tools.
