@swetland yeah engagement there is about what i'd expect for me joining a network for the first time. i'm not sure that's because i don't have many followers there or because of The Algorithm.

@tubetime @swetland yeah,no algorithm here means much less engagement. But thats much closer to real life. We're not living shows, we're people, high engagement was just forced on us by companies that want to profit from our interactions. There is nothing natural there, just money making, again. Friends are hard to get and must be discovered, thats what the fediverse is about. Thats why I love it.

Tbh the only people I see complaining of engagement in the fediverse are 'known' people.

@f4grx @swetland people see high engagement as a negative thing because it was so frequently abused on twitter (creating a vortex of negativity) but for people like me who didn't feed into that, it created amazing amounts of positive interactions.

@tubetime @f4grx @swetland I think this ticket here could help with both cutting down on abuse (such as @TechConnectify is currently living through) and also discovering new and interesting posts and people:
github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i
It would basically be an algorithm for Mastodon. But it would be open, and tunable and most important: it could be disabled for people who don't want it. It could be a per-account choice.
