Also, you replied to the post, training the algorithm that you’ll engage with Mu$k spam, and even said his name. You now have your filters duking it out with the algorithm.

There is no such algorithm on Lemmy

Fair on the confirmation bias. I guess I should've said that I see this post every couple of weeks, even though I have a keyword filter blocking anything with the word "Musk" in the title.

I wasn't aware that Lemmy had much of a personalized algorithm, beyond a simple upvote/down vote system with older posts falling down the list. Comments might boost it in the Hot sorting maybe? I doubt the content of those comments matters much.
