me: *follows lots of new people*
fedi: nice thought, but your feed is still going to be dominated by the same 10 people who post way more often than everyone else put together, so you're going to miss out on everything unless you scroll through hours of timeline activity
me: maybe if i unfollow the busiest posters?
fedi: nice try, but now the timeline hardly moves at all, which is also not what you wanted.
