Probably unpopular opinion: people hate “the algorithm” but you really need one for websites like Twitter; Mastodon feels absolutely dead due to lack of one. Just hashtags aren’t enough, a post looks ridiculous the more you put them.

I wish I didn’t have to use them but Reddit and Twitter are the go to for anything about local news and sports, and I occasionally see some absolutely banging content from people I’m not subscribed from their feeds.
