My timeline has always been this way. Third party clients man. They were so good.
Algorithmic timelines are toxic.
Hot take: Algorithmic timelines are cool, provided we can (1) opt out from the default algorithm and (2) plug in our own algorithms
Yeah as long as I can filter by what I personally want I have no issues with the site structuring my posts for me.
That would be awesome if people could just make their own algorithms, like when people say 'just start your own instance'. Don't like the way algorithm A does things? Try B or C, or make your own! I could see some weird filtering options appearing...
