@dansup theres potential to use the actual engineering to improve the social engineering - you have room to dampen the antisocial and predatory influencer-culture import by making the behavioural tactics less meaningful here. Pixelfed is already losing value for me as i see more and more use of it for memes and pictures of text rather than actual photos. Hashtag spamming ruins the network potential of hashtags, sort of a paradox-of-tolerance problem.
