But the fediverse doesn't use any algorithms, it just shows you what/who you subscribe to. This is the way social media should be. If I don't want to see something or someone I can just block them.

It's only gone downhill since the sites started adding algorithmic crap and filtering things out to increase 'engagement'. This made facebook totally useless for me to keep in touch with my friends.
