We don't want you on Mastodon. I don't mean to offend you, but Mastodon is the way it is. The lack of "smart" feed is a feature. It might be not for you.

I know it's a feature, and I know people on Mastodon care about it. And because of that it's not for me. That's fine. My point was, exactly because Mastodon is not for everyone, there's no need to be derisive of the people who "flock to yet another corporate social media honeypot."

I see you point, thanks. Yeah, it's good that we have different options for different people.

Absolutely! The feed isn't a random mishmash. The natural order in which people post gives the Mastodon feed a very organic feeling. And there is no doom scrolling. You eventually hit the point where you left it last time and there's nothing more to see. Contrary to how it sounds, it gives you a feeling of satisfaction and closure. Honestly, the algorithmic feeds have done great psychological harm.
