Back in the early days of Instagram, I used hashtags to find things and people. Now, on #nostr, I'm doing something similar.

I'm thinking about whether we can use algorithms to make the nostr experience even better in the future, OR if algorithms might actually be causing problems in the first place.

So, what could make an algorithm work well? What would be a good reason for it to be there? Is there such a thing as a health algo - besides showing trending notes?

Agree. But how would you “teach” an along nuance. Isn’t everything about it to find patterns amplify them into your feed? Isn’t this like getting rid of all nuance you have

I think if you perform some reductive reasoning on the subject and present the question in the below fashion, you can get a real sense of community consensus.

1 - Would you be OK with an algo model that serves the users?

2 - Would you be OK with an algo model that serves the clients?

3 - Absolutely no Algo!

This framing would initiate some genuine and valuable discourse.
