This is it. The algorithm amplifies the popular and in doing so mutes the rest.

Whether the algorithm is upvotes from the community times hotness or likes from the whole world times your social graph.

It is still inevitably muting more people than it is promoting.

People are worried today that there might not be a single place to find the one true forum, but in wanting that they are silencing the decentralized voices who can only get attention in a smaller group.

You can’t have a sensible discussion when everyone is in the same room.
