That is a fair point, but I've seen @dansup@mastodon.social talking about what he plans to do about the algorithm to keep privacy-friendly. If I'm not wrong, I recall something along the lines of having the option to self-host your own algorithm recommendation.

Self-hosting your own recommendations would be amazing. I'm on the Testflight waitlist for Loops, hope I can get access soon.

Yeah, that would be dope. An average user probably won't use it, though. But having the option is great, and for user who don't opt in for self-hosting probably an option to export their algorithm data would be cool, for things like changing instances.
