I see what you’re saying, I think that other commenters are misinterpreting what it is that you are trying to say. I certainly was.

Changing the algorithm would probably be implemented as a version update which all instances would eventually need to adopt, or be left behind in features & security patches.

Allowing people to game your algorithm to keep their content higher is not a good thing. It made reddit unbearable (thankfully we have Local feed on Lemmy), twitter, etc. It is why YouTube (as far as genuinely informative videos go) is circling the drain.

And yet, by the numbers, it is basically the fediverse (like literally ~88% of active users are on mastodon!).

I guess it must not be as bad as you make it out to be then?

What’s moronic is advocating for the enshittification of a platform.

Yea, I don’t want to sound like I’m arguing here, but there is a generally negative vibe that is being replicated here on lemmy as it was on reddit:

• Too many Elon Musk twitter posts
• Too much climate change doom & gloom
• Too much political doom & gloom

The toxicity is already here when you browse “All.” I’ve just blocked most of the offending communities for a better experience. The list grows longer every day… but that’s just my opinion. I think we can all agree that browsing “All” is like playing mental health on nightmare mode.

There is a lot of toxicity that I don’t want here…

It already is… :(
