I think having an algorithm is a good idea. I think the main issue with other social media algorithms is the lack of transparency.
I hope people use this and provide feedback to make it better. I’ve already used this some and it worked really well at helping me find posts I am interested in.
Cheers man and good luck with this project. It’s really exciting to see how much you have accomplished with this thing already!
The lack of transparency is combined with a goal of "engagement metrics" and ad revenue rather than truly satisfying the user for web2 sites.
Yea that’s a good point as well. Corporate social media is basically like fast food but for your brain, they are making it as engaging (in foods case tasty) as possible while making it cheap/easy to access.
So they make money at the long term detriment of their own customers.
Luckily Hive does not seem to have that problem.
