@freemo I feel like the marketplace of algorithms would be nice. @masnick's "Protocols, Not Platforms" paper https://knightcolumbia.org/content/protocols-not-platforms-a-technological-approach-to-free-speech outlines this idea with some analysis.
Mastodon seems to have an algorithm, by default; just add /explore to the name of the server. (or click on # explore) But qoto has this disabled for reasons I can only guess at. AFAICT this algorithm is basically boost count?
I don't know; maybe?
See these when you're logged out:
https://mastodon.online/explore
https://freeatlantis.com/explore
It says "These posts from this and other servers in the decentralized network are gaining traction on this server right now."
That's what I mean.
https://qoto.org/explore
It's sort of a directory of users. Nice, but totally different.
@ech @masnick
I dont think we have that disabled. You mean the explore hashtags?
