  I suppose the issue is the private ownership of the algorithm. Lemmy is a way to distribute ownership even though I think each instance is privately owned. It might be worthwhile to create a platform abstracting the data from the algorithm allowing the end user a choice of recommendation algorithm.

  There is no money in it. Enclosure of the recommendation algorithm is profitable.

  If there are recommendation systems, maybe an open API for requests is required. Thereby a user can choose an algorithm. I would go as far as open sourcing it all.

  I agree that the current form puts too much power in the hands of a few.

  Roast pumpkin puree can be added as filler to sauces. Bottom right option seems fine too. Why kink shame?
