The problem with social media isn't just "algorithms", it's their entire designs. TikTok's swipe-based UI and powerful editor incentivizes short-form video content that builds off each other. That creates certain social behaviors unique to TikTok. Another example: Twitter's decision not to have a "dislike" buton has a huge effect on how tweets are boosted. You can't "manage" that no matter what decentralized protocol you come up with, because that's baked into the UI. Not to mention, what does it even mean to "choose your algorithm"? Once you give me your data, you have no control over what I do with it. The only thing you can really choose is what piece of data you give away, but the article as it stands doesn't really make sense.
