There will always be an algorithm. For social media feeds, it could be minimal, like bookmarks, but then you still need to decide what order to present items in, and just gets more complicated from there.
Perhaps exposing why a particular item is being presented to you and allowing you to modify that behaviour could allow users better control, but that would get very complex (for the user) very quickly.
