    3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.

      and bluesky doesn’t have a default algorithm either, but allows you to subscribe to algorithms created by other people

      being able to choose how the information is presented is the way

        That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?

          yes and no… essentially they’re http services that people run, so they can either be closed or FOSS… i could see a future where there’s like those 1-click “run on <serverless platform>” on github pages and you can audit the code if you want, and self host

          they call them “feeds” if you’re interested in going deep

      Some people want to make social media account to browse illustration or photography.

      Unfortunately, that’s not doable on fediverse. You follow anyone, and suddenly your feed filled with content that you are not interested in. Example: your favourite artist also post a lot of game screenshoot, but you’re not interested in the games. You just want to see the illustration.

          Not everything is under hashtag. Most of artist I follow never put hashtag. Hashtag also not useful in multilanguage situation, where a hashtag can mean different think between communities and languages.
