All these people - they don't learn.

For microblogs NOSTR is already better than everything else, right now. Provided you don't care much about keeping the same identity over years, cause an identity is a pubkey there, used directly (no temporary identities signed by it or something), so with more popularity those will be lost again and again.

I don't use microblogs, just it seems to have that functionality functioning perfectly and in distributed fashion.

If you don't like cryptobros there (less and less dominant over time btw), then BlueSky might raise even bigger suspicions.

What we need are good algorithms

What does this mean? "Good" how?

Well, in the sense that it shows you the posts you want to see, like X or many other websites that are based on recommendations

They show you the posts that are most likely to drive engagement and keep you on the site, e.g. outrage bait. Whether or not that is good is, of course, a matter of opinion, but I think it is bad. Doomscrolling is much like gambling. Most of the time you spend doing it, you feel either angry or sad, but you're addicted to that occasional hit of dopamine you get.
