All the default sorting algorithms do is sort by basic global metrics like time and activity - anything else is done by the user (blocking, subscribing, ect) and the instance (federation or banning).
People misunderstand just how broad a term 'algorithm' actually is.
It's got an inbox and a spam folder and I use the client to subscribe to RSS feeds. Email and lemmy have more in common than they have differences.
You're using an open source platform bud, you have complete control over your 'algorithmic' feed. People just seem to want control over other people's feeds, too.

Couldnt this just as easily be about the US?
If he was less supportive of Israel and law enforcement I'd be more excited about this.
Honestly there isn't anyone left in the party that I'm happy with - even AOC started transitioning into radlib territory.
No, you should find a community that's a better fit for you
You respect it but you don't think it's real?
