 Fully agree, but I kinda want algorithms here. Algorithms that are fully open source and that the user can turn off or change at any time.

I don't see algorithms as something necessarily bad, just the closed sourced corporate owned ones are.

 Yea not all algos are equal. Content or user discovery algos seem beneficial, especially if the user has options to choose from many and turn them off. The algos I’m talking about though are the manipulative engagement-seeking algos that exist to ultimately serve advertiser and other corporate interests.
