So someone on tiktok was complaining that on mastodon there's no way to see "popular" posts, and I pointed out that it's just a chronological feed rather than a curation algorithm and they said they don't like it because they "have to sift through a bunch of boring posts to find gems."

I've always thought that lots of people SAY they don't like curation/recommendation and would rather just see everything, but they don't actually mean that. 🤷‍♀️
