@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: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/26361 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.
