That's not true, Bluesky has "chose your own algorithm" and Mastodon even less, it's just in chronological order (or "chose your own client"), and lots of other social media sites that don't have algorithms that decide what you're seeing. Classic web forums (which I'd call social media too) also typically show content in chronological order.

And your agent, the author of which has some liability for what it shows you, curates it. If the company providing the fire hose also wants to supply the agent, or even lock its users into its own agent, that sums up who’s responsible.
