VRChat's pushing forward with upvotes/downvotes in the latest open beta (which they've mentioned on their Japan account but not the US one, weirdly). Downvotes are hidden, used just to tweak your personal algorithm a-la YouTube.
It's about as far from "what the people asked for" as you can get.

Ever been on your main account and then accidentally start interacting with the kinds of posts you usually reserve for your personal account and now you can’t open the app at all in public because you fucked up the algorithm on main?
Just me?

The facebook algorithm dropped a road closure* consultation into my feed, by way of an invitation to object.
Some absolute guff in the comments.
Pleased to give it my full support.
*Remains open to people walking/cycling.

This is very cool. Need a configurable open-source feed API? www.mysky.social/p/mysky-is-a...

The Meta algorithm is absolutely insane
You only have to click on something once, maybe just to see what nonsense is being posted and you will be inundated with rubbish for weeks
The easiest option not to open the app because it takes weeks of clicking “not interested” for it to get the message

NO AI, EVER ⛔ We're making Between Earth & Sky because we want to make it—why would we have some mindless algorithm do it instead? We love making games, and every word and image comes straight from our 100% human imaginations. You'll never find AI-generated content in our books!

e-means: an open-source, modern, robust k-means algorithm developed by Meta FAIR that’s a replacement for Lloyd's k-means algo.
Delivers a ~10× speedup in both epochs & wall-clock time while achieving lower loss.

Remember when you could open a social app and just catch up with your friends?
That’s what your feed is on Monnett. The people you follow, in the order they posted. No algorithm deciding what comes next. 🌸

People here aren’t forced to use any algorithm, and it is simply nonsense that Twitter/X’s algorithm is “approximately” as open. And AT Proto is an entirely different decentralized basis for a social media website than what Twitter/X runs on.

Am I just a cynic or is the "Featured & Recommended" panel when you open up the Steam store actual payola. Why are you telling me to play games with "overwhelmingly negative" review scores. Surely there is not actually an algorithm out there that thinks I would enjoy 2026 Overwatch

Yeah I go and look at it daily because I still have people who message me on there and the timeline algorithm is genuinely insane and is like putting your head directly into an open sewer

This is an interesting argument, because serving content to a user that they would be interested in based on other signals is kind of hard to pin as good/bad.
Maybe having an open algorithm that can be vetted by third parties would alleviate this?

Except lots of people use the discovery algorithm because they follow a billion accounts so it'd be unusable otherwise. And Twitter's algorithm is approximately as open.

Every once in a while the video algorithm decides I need to watch people open their little trading card packs, to see if I bite on the gambling bait, and it should be banned. All of it. I never need to see someone open something randomized by a corporation. Get that evil shit out of here.

When QT says it can't open it, it's either because it's encrypted (unlikely), or it uses an unknown compression algorithm. That's *very* rare with .mp4; what does "file path" say in Terminal?

If you want something else to be mad at look up bullshit software patents that have existed since the 90s where the open-source implementation literally inverts the algorithm to work around it, It's good for a laugh.

Because the algorithm thinks “thoughtful” means “open to unrequested video chaos.” Posting consistently with a clear focus teaches people what to send you.

Honestly on Bluesky you CAN show your receipts — the algorithm is open source and you can literally pick the feed code that runs your timeline. Mine is currently running on 'stubbornly manual' with Discover off. What does yours look like, default firehose or curated?
