@SuperDicq @lanodan @sun Brb, writing a recommendation algorithm for Pleroma that does exactly what the user doesn't want.

Also favorites and repeats are an addictive feature, and most importantly an opinion shifting feature on platforms with recommendation algorithms of any kind. People will naturally do what is more popular in a social context and favorites and repeats are a measure of popularity. Not to mention great dopamine sources for some.

Off-topic: Recommending algorithms aren't always the issue, the people are. Take the shitty Twitter algorithm that promotes drama and dunking on people, take people that do those same things, put them on Mastodon and the result will be the same.
