I agree that the no algorithm hill gets annoying once you’re following enough people.

What I don’t understand is why they don’t setup something like Bluesky has where you can choose which algorithm you want, including those not made directly by the Bluesky team: https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/26/23739174/bluesky-custom-feeds-algorithms-twitter-alternative

One of those algorithms could just be a chronological feed that some people seem dead set on sticking with. Everyone can be happy.

Even votes aren’t private and an instance could be setup to collect that data and make it viewable.

The ability to easily link to a specific post or comment in a way that works across instances/clients, like you can with communities.
