It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.

It's a bad feature lol. It should have algo content as an option. I'm tired of getting gaslighted and being told I'm not allowed to think this. We're on Lemmy because of its algo content with the active/hot feeds. That doesn't translate to Mastodon boosts.

Exactly, the reality is when I open Twitter I see content that is at least relevant to my interests, where as the sorting on Mastodon are of things that are of absolutely no interest. There's a lot that you can say about algorithms, but there's a reason it was the way it was in the first place.
