Your 'dear algo' Threads posts might finally be effective

Zuckerberg suggests a potential new feature for content customization.

In the world of social media, algorithms operate as unseen forces, quietly dictating the content that fills our screens. Much like petitioners to a higher entity, we often send hopes into the digital void, wishing for its benevolent attention. At least for users of Threads, it seems these appeals have resonated.

On the Threads platform, it has become common for users to create posts beginning with 'dear algo,' gently urging the platform's algorithm to favor content they prefer or to minimize unwanted posts. Today, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Threads is exploring a feature to enable precisely this type of user interaction. The specifics were not disclosed, aside from an initiative to 'test a new feature,' yet there's an undeniable satisfaction in knowing user feedback, almost comedic at its inception, is being acknowledged.

Since its launch in 2023, Threads has experienced swift expansion. By August 2025, the platform boasted 400 million monthly users, and by October, the daily active user count had surged to 150 million.
