Are there options to switch off aspects of algos, so people can tailor them to their own preferences?

Maybe you’re stuck in twitter mode. Likes are to tell people you like their content. How the system uses it is a different story.
No I read that right. You read mine wrong. I dont think there should be an algorithm to inform. An algo is the source of many problems. Turns social media into a drug. Encourages advertisers to hack it. Discourages 1:1 sociality (making actual friends) in place of becoming more popular. This is also my problem with zaps. Its like paying people to be your friend? Whatever happened to the intrinsic value that relationships used to have on their own??
