    Not sure where you’re going with that, but it’s a perverse incentive, just like the engagement algorithm.

    Elon is a problem because he can literally force himself into everyone’s feeds, but also because he always posts polarizing/enraging things these days.

    Healthy social media design/UI is all about incentivizing good, healthy communities and posts. Lemmy is not perfect, but simply not designing for engagement/profit because Lemmy is “self hosted” instead of commercial is massive.
