on the other hand, I loved Twitter when it was chronological, and hated it with all my heart after they started changing that. Mastodon is way better for me.

- Pxtl 3y agoEven when it was chronological, there was a happy middle-ground where it would show you the context of reply-tweets and would collapse tweet-threads. And nobody wants a mandatory algorithmic feed, but an optional one is definitely a good thing - show me the follows of follows, the accounts that get lots of likes from my follows, etc.
- FalconSensei 3y agoNo, you are missing the point of Mastodon. The point is to be a service where it doesn't suggest things for you. You can say that's not for you and stay on Twitter/Threads/BlueSky, but people move to Mastodon for this reason. You will also notice that Mastodon doesn't have quote-boost, and searching is limited to hashtags/users, and it will only find text results from posts of users you follow already (or even just you, I'm not sure). These are made on purpose, and even adding the quote-boost is being debated for like 5 or 6 years, and it's not going to happen unless it's a setting so you have to allow people to quote-boost you.
