Before this escapes my contextual sphere, I should say that the things I'm ~thinking about would acknowledge that, for example, getting boosted by an account with a million followers is meaningfully different from getting boosted by an account with a few dozen.
Systems that allow custom discovery algos could build out feeds that surface not just "popular with friends" but "small or newer accounts that cover things I love and that have indicated that they want to be found."
As big weird primates, we tend to understand emotional intensity and high incoming comms volume and markers of status at a very low level, but we've mostly not had the chance to play with those dynamics in our online platforms in consent-forward and socially skillful (rather than shady or extractive or clumsy/all-acceleration-all-the-time) ways.
