I think we should ultimately support algorithm feeds, but they should be free and open algorithms that can be peer reviewed, and also maybe give the users some control over which algorithm is applied and how. The problem with current social algorithms is they operate in the dark and are manipulative, not that they provide relevant content to users.

Here is Elena's message on mastodon about it: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113899740641675793 I guess you can always provide some feedback!

That, and it's arguable primary purpose is to serve ads. "People similar to you clicked on these ads" type shit. And I get it to a point, platforms need to support themselves, and unless it's a paid app, that doesn't keep servers running. But it'd be nice to just get one every 10 minutes, and not every 10 seconds, and also to opt out of tracking for served ads instead of just random ones.

They've done federation on a few test posts, but it's definitely not there yet for normal users to use.

Maybe. But it's probably more important to start with Lemmy than which app to use.

It would seem I forgot to add the /s
In any case, I'm simply disappointed in his choices for not open sourcing software that would undoubtedly march on in terms of progress at light speed if fully FOSS.
I hope he learns to hone his ego, it's within and without. I just hope he comes to his senses and begins to work with devs who are desperate to get a peak at the closed source portions of his sofware. - By open sourcing any blackboxed software.

Ohhhh
️Sorry. I agree, I hope he betters himself and make loops OSS. Currently he's pretty controversial but hopefully he turns around before it's too late. -
Honestly same! I was ready to delete my Pixelfeed account after having read all thatlbut I have high hopes that a turnaround comes. Here's to hoping

Nah, it's a torrent client.
