> It's the one major social network I'm on where it is easy to view only posts from the people I follow, in reverse chronological order.

Oh weird, I'd rate X as medium-hard for that amongst the microposting sites I look at. Mastodon and Bluesky both default to almost-that, varying mostly in whether you need to jump through hoops to not see reposts.

X was always the one that (a) doesn't default to it, and (b) would keep "forgetting" and pushing you back to the algorithmic feed.

"major" was doing a bit of work for me. Facebook, Instagram, Reddit were more in mind when I said that.

This hasn't happened to me in awhile. Dunno if it was a transient thing, an app thing, or something that has been reversed.

This might be me showing I have strange views, but I don't even think of those as being in the same category of service, so I didn't think of them as a point of comparison.

		People use these things differently, for sure! I compare to those because these are social networks - the network is the biggest thing that matters. I LOVE what Bluesky is doing with atproto and was there pretty early as a result, but I didn't stick around because the kinds of people and topics I am most interested in are not represented on the site. The network just isn't there! FB has a network I want as well, they just make it way too hard for me to see content from my actual friends.
