Being able to choose what it will show you would be cool and not require stealing your data to customize your feed
Google is the closest thing to that that i know, but their implementation is terrible
agreed. there is a way to keep that algorithm private. on a person to person case.
that information would just have to not be sold. thats the difference.
an algorithm wouldn't be inherently evil. the data collected is what's potentially dangerous. but if its kept to just your personal account, it could be quite safe
and make the app less of a chore to use.
Quiblr for lemmy does this i think
I made Quiblr. Thanks for the shout out!
As you noted, Quiblr's For You feed gives an entirely customized recommendation feed + it is 100% private and runs on the device (not via a data center... so no data ever leaves the device)
