Custom algorithms like community plugins is actually such an incredible good idea I wonder why we don't have it already on mastodon

    That's my other issue with Mastodon, it's development doesn't seem that open, it feels like the head dude isn't really open to change. When asked about fixing search, he said it was "intentional" and he wanted people to search less. Seems weird, let the users have the choice, right?

    Heck, even Bluesky, which is VC funded feels more open than Mastodon at times.

    I particularly like Mastodon's chronological and weak search. You won't be easily found unless you wanted to, and your timeline is well-ordered and never will it be disturbed by some algorithms. To me these are its advantages.

    I don't like it because my feed gets flooded with low quality content that's only there because the poster used that particular hashtag. It needs sorting like Reddit, so that I can keep the good quality content on top, but also have a chronological option if I ever get bored.

    It makes no sense to choose chronological when you can make it optional. Bluesky is much, much better in this regard.
