The algorithms/feeds are easily the best part about Bluesky because they can be custom-made. If you don't like the feeds provided by Bluesky, you can just make one of your own that displays what you want to see. I use many such feeds.

If you want your timeline to be just a chronological timeline, you can also subscribe to that feed and delete all others. Bluesky isn't Threads, no one is forcing any algorithm on you that you don't want, this is part of the decentralized nature of Bluesky.

Also, I don't think there is a clear line between "algorithmic" and "non-algorithmic" social media. If you use Mastodon with the Mammoth app and its "For You" feed, is it algorithmic or non-algorithmic? If I sort my Lemmy timeline by "hot", do I not use an algorithm?

Nice! I've been enjoying the "Quiet Posters" feed, which shows only posts by people I follow that don't regularly post, so I might miss the rare times that they do! :)

They give you only so many free articles per month, I had to circumvent a paywall as well
