How about give the users control over the algorithm? Akin to Lemmy, where we can at least choose one of many sorting algorithms, including chronological. But I only use ‘New’ when checking out specific communities. For the actual feed, I very much prefer an algorithmic approach.
I don’t see it as the platform’s responsibility to “create an unbiased recommendation algorithm without creating echo chambers”. Give me the means to prevent that, yes. But please let me decide for myself wether I want a wide or narrow range of topics, and which flavor.

Totally agree with that, Lemmy is the value proposition for just that.
