@rauschma Yes, I can understand the discomfort many have with most existing algorithms on the for-profit social networks that try to pull you into the drama. But indeed, I think that an algorithm that just does some simple ordering based on your own social network will be a very different experience. Phanpy has that option, but it is a Beta feature, and quite hidden.

@geertaarts @rauschma for me, I don’t like the opaqueness of corporate feed/recommendation algorithms. And I really don’t like the idea of said corporations feeding me content based on their profit/political interests. I’m open to other algorithms (besides chronological) but would like better transparency and control

I fear that "algorithms" would have a potential to eventually kill this space. I really hope that we can do without.

@inwis @dgodon @geertaarts If we ever get support for algorithms they probably will be opt-in (switched off by default).
