sorting by newest is an algo.

sorting by most zaps is an algo.

tons of value in your response, but hating on algos just seems like a witch hunt to me.

In time different clients will have different "trending" algos that we can choose from. I hope all are open source so that we all have equal ability to "game them"

There's a big difference between a centraly decided algorithm and a sort list. I don't hate algos. I just think most perpetuate noise.

what do we want?

BETTER ALGOS!

That's all I'm getting at and I think we agree. hopefully we can choose the ALGOS we subscribe to at some point whether it be inter or intra client.

algo openness would be key to helping us decide. if there are more "trending" algo options, gaming one of them means less
