I think this would be a good thing to legislate. If a platform has a follow button, then it needs to make a chronological feed of followed content available on 1) a dedicated, bookmarkable page and 2) as an Activity Pub feed.

I miss the brief days when almost everyone I knew was on one platform and I had a chronological feed of all of their updates without any content from sources I didn't follow. Now, I have to switch between at least half a dozen apps with dark patterns to see a few updates from friends while trying to avoid getting sucked into a black hole of content recommended by the algorithms.

If I could see all of the updates from all of my friends in one Activity Pub feed, that would be great!

I just stopped caring about seeing constant updates from friends and went back to emailing or texting them when I have something specific to talk about. Those conversations usually result in finding out their recent life highlights anyway, but more personal and unmediated.
