I use twitter because you can switch to a chronological feed by using the "sparkle/stars" button in the upper right corner. This removes all of the suggestions and tweets from people you don't know. Basically it turns discoverablity off. You still get retweets if shared by someone you follow (you can also turn that off by going to their profile).
This is the main reason it's the only social media company I use. I can avoid the algorithm completely.
I also use Twitter lists and made a list of close friends so I can see a feed of just their tweets in case I miss them in the chronological feed.
The tools are already there. The UX to surface them needs to be better though.
