@pre@boing.world Yeah, I wonder if it’s about the default though? There are algorithmic views on Bluesky but the default feed is chronological. Instagram and Twitter have chronological but it’s not so obvious and you can’t make it the default as far as I know, you’re always reset to algorithmic. Reddit has both but I think the default is algorithmic and I don’t know if you can change that (or if changing it is sufficient if the default is algorithmic).
But this is half guesswork and I might be imputing rationality and consistency to the decision where there actually is none.

@benjamineskola@hachyderm.io 🤣 Reddit has 'The Knights Who Read New', kind volunteers who read the cronological feed and vote on it so that people who only read 'hot' have something to read. You can (or could, last time I used it years ago), switch easily between various sortings from 'hot' to 'new' to 'best ever' and more. If all the banned sites have to do to get unbanned is allow users to switch to default to crono feeds, then the ban will presumably be quite short and every company will do that, at least for UK users?
