    Just because the current system doesn’t do what you want, you think going back to a system of cheating and popularity contests is good? Think carefully about that. Unless you’re the sort who also refuses to listen to music that isn’t on the Top Ten list and only goes to blockbuster movies. If that’s the case, honestly the Fediverse may not be the place for you.

      If I wanted to use Reddit/Twitter/etc, I wouldn’t have deleted my account on those two platforms. Definitely don’t want the fediverse to go that direction.

      But I personally believe the problems with those platforms are 100% the fault of the people running the place and the bad decisions they have made in the past and will continue to make in the future.

      I think a karma based ranking algorithm, designed by a community that has the right intentions (find good content, and sort it at the top), will work well.
