I realize that Mastodon is specifically intended not to have any sort of algorithm, and I understand and appreciate that, but it’s not what I want, personally. I want to have the posts in my feed sorted by the ones with the most “engagement” as those are likely the most interesting ones.
So say that. One word answers don’t contribute anything, don’t explain anything, and come off as, at best, insulting and dismissive.
Already agree with you, by the way. For exactly the reasons you just outlined. Well, except that I’ve taken to calling it “the bird site” because I don’t think it deserves a proper noun.
