Mastodon’s use of a chronological feed is what kills it.

Funny, that's exactly the reason I like Mastodon's feed over traditional social media. No bullshit being pushed, just the people I'm following and the posts they make.

No algorithm designed to keep you addicted or run experiments on you.

You're saying this... On Lemmy. You do know we have three different "trending" settings here, right?

I honestly much prefer the idea of a chronological feed too, but disagree that's what kills a platform. Tumblr has both the chronological and the trending for you/for all, and it was also ignored.
