RE: social.coop/users/scottjenson/

this is a great thread.

i don't have an aversion to "algorithms"—i just want to be in control. surface the "interesting" posts in my inbox—the ones where someone shares something new, novel, or surprising—and bury the posts by the idiots who show up to troll.

it's hard, though. i tried to do it in #ktistec threads by looking for the posts at the center of the conversation instead of the branches where two or three people are just going back and forth—but results are mixed.

GIven the positive traction this post got, I'd like to collect some "benevolent algorithms" we could consider. For example:
* Popular posts among people you follow
* Popular posts on your server
* Popular posts with this hashtag
* What would you suggest???

"popular" is defined as some transparent metric around replies + boosts
