@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat by default no, but they can be made algorithm free (sort by time)
Hence the "varying degrees" qualifier.

@Obscurequokka You're totally right. I'm used to dealing with people who don't really understand platforms and their control and privacy implications, so I just kind of went into correction mode. You're right and I apologize.

@Obscurequokka Yeah I guess so, I think it more depends on your definition. There are content duration algorithms, user algorithms, group algorithms, etc. I was looking in a more broad sense but you're absolutely right, you can configure most of them to have much less strongest content creation and recommendation settings.
