For example:
If I like a lot of posts from someone, I would love for that person's posts to be visible more frequently in my feed so I don't miss them!
I'd also like a setting that allows me to control that to an extent. Even if just on/off.
I really want people to stop fetishizing "chronological display."
It is not always the best view (and sometimes it's the worst, depending on your needs in the moment).
Algorithms are not evil.
Treating them as such is imprecise at best.

I'd actually love for Mastodon to have a Chronological Feed to appease everyone that has decided This is The Way and a tab or toggle for a Dynamic Feed based on user controllable, comprehensible algorithm options with good defaults. But again, please: Stop calling algorithms evil. It is neither useful nor precise. TWTR and FB and TikTok use their algorithms (and math, and databases) in a coercive manner. I am against manipulation, but I'm pro-algorithm. tiny 🧵end
