@farhan agreed on search, but for trending... given the amplification problem we're seeing on Facebook and Twitter I'm actually glad it's not prominent on the Fediverse
@farhan yeah, there's definitely a way to do it properly. Ideally the user should be in control of their feed, instead of Big Tech's "we'll let our AI decide what you see" where every tweak to the model has unintended consequences
@michel_slm but surely there are ways of combating such issues that don't involve removing the feature all together. I'm sure spam will eventually be a problem on the fediverse but that doesn't mean we should just shut it all down
