No, I want a communal, collaboratively managed platform to recommend things to me based on an open source algorithm whose behavior I can adjust the way I want. Alas, this just isn’t a thing.

Just amongst the available options, the closed algorithm optimized for engagement has so far been better at showing me interesting things than an unfiltered chronological feed.

Fair, and if I was a little harsh there I apologise. It’s not a thing, and in absence of that the best thing to use is Mastodon which while doesn’t provide recommendations the way you want but at least doesn’t provide recommendations that are biased against your interests.
