@Mrfunkedude@mastodon.social Part of the issue is that it's much easier to boost a thing than formulate something yourself, so if someone follows people they're more likely to see this re-posted content as opposed to content from the specific people they follow. Yes, you can turn off boosts but that's not necessarily what I want. I'm fine with boosts/reposts as an option but as the only means to help something trend it results in a homogenization of feeds. It's about the visible ratio, if that makes sense.
