I feel like I’m missing something here, but isn’t knowing what’s under the hood exactly the point of projects like Lemmy? The source is available on github, and they explain the algorithms or talk about their political bias pretty openly in most communities.

Were you thinking more from the angle of the way our social biases work as a group, or like the risk of maintainers tampering with the sauce pre-release?

I hope this didn’t come across shitty - genuinely curious.

I’m so glad it’s not just me that’s had this lol. My laptop blackscreened after a house move and when I saw the GPU was offline I thought it didn’t survive the journey.
