there should be a legal mandate for websites to sort chronologically by default
companies can still have screwy algorithms, but users should have to turn it on each and every time they connect or open the app

Honestly, I'd go as far as to say that any social media platform above a certain size should allow custom clients/API access.
If you want the official app to be telemetry ridden AI powered slop, whatever. Just let me use an alternate client to skip all that and customize it to my liking.

That is why I love RSS feeds, I am the one who controls how I receive the posts and there is no lock in. Only problem is that many sites lack RSS feeds. Although I do have a simple solution for that, I find who I want to follow on a site that is RSS compatible or I stop trying to follow them.
