@hughtaylorscifi@universeodon.com The problem is that the mastodon way of sorting feeds and displaying content promotes echo chambers.

Everybody is celebrating this idea of leaving algorithms behind, and even setting aside that chronological sort IS an algorithm, when you leave people with only hashtags and follows as the only ways of tailoring their feeds, you end up with even more echo chambers.

I don't think Mastodon was the best way to go. Maybe it was a minor improvement, maybe not, but it just wasn't the real solution to the problems people were looking to have solved.
