The beauty of it is that it’s a chronological feed with no algorithms, monopolies, or attention commodification. Imagine! No big eye-in-the-sky serving up what they want you to see and hiding what they don’t; just a list of what people said, in the order they said it. You’re right; this shouldn’t be something we have to fight for.

@Greguti you say that, and yet there are quite a few people pointing out that the chronological feed doesn't get them the content they want to see.
In reality, chronological feed IS an algorithm, just a very simplistic and untailored one. We don't escape algorithms that way.
So we need better algorithms that give users more control over their experiences.
