This is laudable. But the great thing about Twitter is that you don't have to use the algorithmic "For You" feed at all. You can just use the "Following" feed, which is purely chronological, and doesn't contain any recommended content. This isn't possible on Facebook, which makes it unusable for me.
- Pxtl 1y agoThat ignores the way Twitter sorts replies, which always use an algorithmic weight-based listing.

- thomasm6m6 1y agoOn iOS at least, there is a “Sort replies > latest” option which is strictly chronological
- bprew 1y agoFacebook has a "friends only" feed (Friends button, next to Home), but it's not chronological.
- SilverElfin 1y agoI don’t use it - does it remember the setting? My recollection is that Facebook would make you switch to that chronological feed manually each time you load the page.
- cubefox 1y agoAs I said, Facebook doesn't have a chronological feed. Twitter remembers the feed setting.
- jandrese 1y agoThe "following" feed helps, but replies to almost any topic still attract outright white supremacists on X. They have seemingly endless time to fill the site up with their talking points.
