So people think adjusting to the 'new' algorithms* tendencies constantly to get their own content out there is one of the best ways to reach the masses who are probably watching whatever other stuff the algorithm(s) promote?

So basically if the mainstream is not promoting mainstream then is it worth trying to pander, hack and catch up with how and what 'they' want you present to people?

(algorithm(s) = the coercive will or willpower and force behind what the designer(s( want to see eventually)

I'm confused how this works in the modern day and how much it really converts people from mainstream to open source etc...
(hard to measure and arguably not great using the master's too that will almost NEVER design to undo itself and *cut* short anything that is 'working' in that way or working against them. They are not stupid with people trying to subvert them and arguably without saying are muting or making things less visible so you can write what you want!)

I also think there is valid reasons to try 'get' people from this side to our side (mainstream Twitter to Mastodon for example)... but I'm really not sure to set foot in the master's realm in order to try and think they don't have things quite well clamped down and aware of such things. And in fact dangerous perhaps to announce or broadcast there what you are doing for their own future-proofing and analysis of people rising up.

Comment welcome on how to get people in mainstream over here with / without making account there!
