Discoverability in this context meaning the ability to more effectively find public communities/people of interest. Alongside improving this however, respecting people’s decisions on whether and how they may be found, if at all.

    I think algorithms are fine if they’re completely transparent and customizable.

    I think a focus on user-driven algorithms could make these platforms even more compelling than they already are.

    Yeah, algorithms can be a problem when they are optimized for user-retention and profit, but algorithms aren’t inherently evil. “New”, “Top 24h”, “Scaled”, and “Hot”, are all (simple) algorithms. More sorting and filtering options would be great.
