    I do not.

    I see it as meta intentionally lowering visibility, not as boosting other things. The root problem of that being algorithmic timelines rather than an actual timeline.

    Which this post also points out (indirectly).

    Again, what metric would you suggest to use to demonstrate this?

      Isn’t adjusting weights of what’s being shown effectively the same as boosting?

        I’m not really interested in any debate around semantics, to me the answer is no, applying a -1 to entry a is not the same as a +1 to entry z, but its also completely irrelevant to the question.

          I agree. This is about censorship, and it’s misguided to think ‘they only care because of views/likes/upvotes’.

            Have you considered that it’s not censorship and just that regular people are not interested in it, and that there are vastly different people on different platforms.
