Client-side algorithms are not the same as protocol-level algorithms.

You don’t like an algo a client implements use a different client, the protocol is agnostic of this and stays the same.

Don't like something in Nostr? Build your own tool or use a different one. Period. That's the value here.

The issue with primal is also that since the client is geting data from their "caching" backend service, they can (not saying they do) also censor anything, not only trending. Until they don't give the option of not using their caching backend and get data from relays directly there is space for disagreement.

I, personally, see no evil in this. Nostr, the protocol, does not censor anybody and users content is discoverable in a multitude of ways regardless of what a particular client does.

Sure, just not with Primal ATM.

Correct

Just for the record, Amethyst is also engaging a in a form of automated censorship, by using user submitted reports to shadowban users on their client.
