It was definitely a good development to let social media operators make automated “recommendations based on what you seem to like” instead of, you know, letting users decide manually what they want to see, amirite… /s

Yeah I know, I sort Lemmy by “new comments” and Mastodon obviously only chronologically.
It’s just that the first type of “social media” I ever used (in my childhood) was the web forum and I kinda miss that. :D

But surely some kind of automated filter is valuable. SM companies should give users more control over their feeds, like maybe once they have more than X things followed, 80% of their feed will be from things they’ve followed, and the user could override that setting.
