MODERATORS
I really hope they're successful. The ideals they're working towards are great, but something I've learned at every point in life is that people like things easy. They like to be spoon fed, and the algorithms do exactly that. People need to want something different and that's where I fear the biggest hurdle will be.
You re correct. Chronological is better than algorithm promoting posts with engagement and only posts say are related on top and creating a bubble.
But if we can toggle for both. If we can choose chronological or curated by just clicking a switch, then it would be much better.
