Any social platforms not focused on algorithms?

Curious if there are any social media platforms that are less algorithmic than a facebook/instagram/x?

I find HN to be the best:

- Good UI

- No Algo, although ranking is a bit vague

- Discussion can go very deep as the limit of characters is large

Other than traditional forums, I don't think anything else beats HN. X and Mastodan and such are just too short, too quick.

I think bluesky might fit what you're looking for, in the sense that either you can get chronological mode (the default feed), or use an recommendation algorithm of your own design.
