People are reporting worse experiences on Mastodon compared to Twitter (Pre-Musk). Some discussion over what can be done about it. (solarbird.net)

Notifications are a pain point:

giving people the ability to curate their notifications. Notifications are what’s driving them nuts. Not posts, not even the technology of Mastodon – it’s replies from assholes.

They need notifications grouped, they really do. Hell, I want that enough that I mostly look at replies from my phone, where I have an ap that groups them.

They need to be able to turn on something like Twitter’s old “quality replies” filter, which served as a junk filter, and a block against pointless below-ban-level negging.

And they need to be able to do it at scale, because if you have 100,000 followers, you can’t reasonably do it one at a time. It’s simply not possible.

I think it would be good as an "opt-in" feature to placate anti-algorithm folks.

I am privacy conscious to an extent, but I'd be ok with data collection and "algorithms" if they are clearly defined and have a clear purpose. Masto being open source would for the most part satisfy my requirements for transparency...
