But the base algorithm can also be improved, I think. It's a bit too "dumb".
Discussion
There is no “base” algorithm though; just too few implementations that everybody uses because they don’t realize there’s better stuff available.
What we need to work on is disintermediating that conception where everybody integrates with one or two different algorithms just because
Oh, I agree, but nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgnwaehxw309ahkvenrdpskjm3wwp6kytcqyqe4dhnpkwty0ycuazepgzet4wphuzqscrh4zka7jt0qyjqypw9a6vxwe7g was challenging us to improve his specifically.
Then we'd at least have two very different result outputs. The ones we have (band/primal) are so similar in the output, that I mistakingly thought that one was perhaps a fork of the other.
To be honest, it's embarrassingly easy to game the current trending lists, if you are good at pattern-recognition.
If I want something unusual, but interesting, to trend, I just write "GM" or "GN" after the text and then the GM/GN replies push it up the list. 😂
