    That’s easy. It’s more dull here, and there’s less lock-in.

    No, really. Social media without the dopamine-pump-style algorithm behind it is far less stimulating. Meanwhile, the Federation model itself allows us to abandon nodes that are co-opted by bad actors. So there’s always somewhere else to go with all your favorite stuff when things go sour.

      It CAN be time based, but there’s also a “hot” and an “active” sorting. Both of which are “algorithms”.

      It’s a lot more simple of an algorithm, and doesn’t intentionally push specific topics, but if you open lemmy.world anonymously, you’ll see a default “All/Active” feed which is sorted by engagement.

      I guess for me the stench of the people are counteracting the near heroin addictiveness of the fediverse
