This is totally unacceptable. We are being subjected to algorithms we do not understand, making decisions we can only guess, enforcing shadow bans we are unaware of, and imposing censorship without transparency. This cannot be the future.
From a consumer perspective, I follow people, yet they never appear in my timeline again. I can follow or unfollow anyone I want, but the algorithm still chooses what I end up seeing.
I guess it feels a bit like voting in our so called democracies 😉
I believe everyone should be able to build and fine tune their own algorithm to decide what they see, how often they see it, and from whom. We need tools that empower users to meet their complex needs and preferences. Will this ever be possible on Nostr?
