Discussion
Yea ... I gave up on Primal.net for now
The client itself I like, but the trending feed is useless garbage until they fix this. Imho they’d be better off removing it completely than leaving it so easily manipulated.
It will always be broken because fake zappers will always be able to create fake zaps.
Well maybe not always, you could do some kind of pagerank algo (katz centrality/eigencentrality)
maybe implement some elements from a web of trust system
Right. I probably should stop caring, but I also want it to be a useful feed and not some BS manipulated list of posers that new users who had Primal recommended to them see.
Or they could just delete that shit ranking system all together instead of keeping it as a holdover fiat centric engagement farming methodology. Maybe they could actually innovate and add customizable algorithms?
