Oh yeah honestly the rapidity with which this took hold and almost everybody agreed FUCK THAT GUY and started working towards a collective fix actually gives me a lot of faith in fedi. I’m kinda hoping this does open up more conversation about open and customizable sorting and filtering algorithms. I feel like there’s space in fedi for more complex and personalized algorithms like you see on mainstream social media but in a way that’s easy for the end user to pop open, examine, and tweak to their needs, and easy to apply templates that are clear about their intentions and publicly auditable.
I love how Lemmy’s biggest scandal to-date involves an open-source app for Lemmy.
Can’t get that on reddit.
Because they pulled the rug out from developers…sure…but that’s besides the point.

Is this the biggest scandal? The lemmygrad.ml, the lemmy.ml related ones seemed way bigger
