I much prefer a chronological feed, but they don't work in reality. All current social media platforms rely on their algorithm for discovery.

Without it you may have a very large social media site on paper, but each user only interacts with a small subset which defeats the point of a social media platform. You've effectively created a group chat service that technically doesn't prevent others from joining in, it just doesn't let others find the conversation they are interested in
