Chronological home feed is our selling point. You can also opt-in to notifications when specific accounts post if you don't want to miss them (bell button on profiles). Finally, you can also split your home feed into lists. However, nothing precludes someone from developing a client that reorganizes your home feed somehow.
- ekianjo 5y ago> Chronological home feed is our selling point. It does not have to be "this and nothing else". The main complaint people have with Twitter is censorship and algorithmic curation without transparency. Mastodon solves the first problem with decentralization, and it could just as well fix the second problem with a market for algorithms to apply to your own feeds. And you could still keep the default chronological timeline for those who wish to keep using it this way. Adding more features does not kill your product, it just makes it more flexible for more use cases.
