Can't we just go back to the era where the "feed" or the "wall" was just the posts of our friends / the people we follow sorted by posting date and not this horrible algorithm made to show you infinite content ?
Facebook (or Instagram) don't seem to have good options for this so for the most part I don't use them.
Discord works chronologically, for now at least, and as long as it does I'll be happy to keep chatting with my friends there.
I would expect most Fediverse applications don't have much of a ranking algorithm yet, or at least it should be configurable.
This isn’t very likely. But it’s more likely than someone charging to aggregate IM statuses and put them in chronological order.
One has to realize that FB is only optimizing for profit (and Zuck not going to jail). The only times they curbed was when bad PR was threatening their profits (and Mark’s freedom).
