Posts/comments aren’t sorted and hidden by a ML model optimizing for engagement though.

That’s the key. That’s what makes the environments so toxic and addictive.

Maybe sorting by upvotes isn’t perfect, but it’s still leagues away.

Agreed. You know a social media site is crap if you can't sort chronologically

That means they intentionally stripped away that basic function because they want to control what content you see
