Repeat after me: There is no such thing as social networks without algorithms. Mastodon, for example, uses a sorting algorithm to order posts by date.

Yes, I know people mean "without proprietary engagement algorithms" but being precise matters, especially when said precision is the difference between correct and wrong.

Look to the Free Software Foundation as an example. They want to rid the world of proprietary software, yet they don't go around claiming to offer a world without software.
