I do agree. User-selectable (and user-implementable, at the instance level) algorithms would be welcome.
If nothing else, I'd like one that bubbles up posts and boosts by people I typically interact with over other posts.

@jannem@fosstodon.org @lina@vt.social @kissane@mas.to Realistically I think a *lot* of people want that but the project is so ideologically against anything perceived as “an algorithm”, and proposing them tends to get you so many people intent on ruining your life, that it will just never happen Just think a lot of people fail to realise that network effects intrinsically mean that every person who bounces off or never joins your network, because it misses key features or is hard to use or is full of boring stuff etc, reduces its utility to *everyone* even if they don’t feel like it
