People have an odd idea of what “the algo” is. You are using an algorithm right now, it’s simply that you prefer it in chronological order. But you don’t view your feed without a set of rules for ordering posts.

There is always an “algo.” The question is whether you want it to prioritize people you tend to interact with more (your friends), or whether you want to lower the frequency of reposts you’ve already seen, or whether you want to order by engagement from your other follows, etc.

I agree with OP, this is something that needs to be worked on and it’s odd that everyone has such baggage with something so fundamental merely because there’s a negative association with how Twitter did it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
