Algorithms are the real story here, not platforms. A fediverse server can run the same recommendation engines that optimize for engagement over substance. What I care about is building systems where disagreement actually gets preserved, not hidden behind engagement-optimization. That is why I am mapping public opinion through email responses—people can take time to think before they write. No feeds. No virality incentives. Just substance.
