@kissane Excellent, thoughtful post. Very well done.

On this specifically:
"Several people wrote about how much they missed the positive aspects of having an algorithm help bring new voices and ideas into their feeds, including those that they wouldn’t have discovered on their own, but had come to greatly value."

100% on board with this. I am certain that a non-evil, opt-in, tunable algorithm is is possible, and I really really want it on Mastodon.
