What's the 2023 shadow ban incident?
"Media involving minors stored on the media servers"🤢

Their media server is notoriously subpar.
I just stopped using them because I didnt like their interface and how they're KYC (huge red flag) but, I had no idea there was all this!👀
They curate the trending list, and got caught suppressing someone quite popular. Turned into a gigantic shitstorm. 😅
Sounds like the devs of Primal would have great careers working for Twitter.
Yeah that was kind of a big deal.
Genuinely though: when you join #Damus you are automatically given a list of “people” with their self-reported “subject matter expert” listing next to it.
One automatically puts their-self into an algorithm that way too. Right?
Yes, that's what Primal also does.
The Primal trending list is a different topic.
No.
nostr:npub192klhzk86sav5mgkfmveyjq50ygqfqnfvq0lvr2yv0zdtvatlhxskg43u7 primal auto follows, whereas damus does not auto-follow anyone outside the damus profile.
Damus suggests folks in categories. It is not perfect. Will improve.
