Social networks are wonderful, but algos are devil's work

Nah. Algos can be wonderful and beneficial. The reason we immediately think of them as being bad is because of how they're used in legacy social media. They're closed and they're forced upon us. If algorithms were open source and transparent and allowed user choice, I feel that people would have a much more positive view of them. We're building that here. We're allowing users to choose and create their own algorithms or allowing users choice over their attention and their feed content

Nice! Did not know this! Legacy social media algos are made with the sole intent of retaining attention by reinforcing user's own ideas and points os view, I did never thought of an algo that empowers users instead of psyoping them 😁

Where is the foss algo repo?
