Thanks for this insightful comment. I didn't see it from that perspective before and I agree that using this sort of algorithm makes it harder for community moderation to happen in any capacity.
We should work towards making algorithms that work for us instead of thinking we can rely on just chronological feeds even as we scale. We are sort of doing this by adding scaled and controversial sort but there I think that there should be something more customizable than what we currently have.
Maybe having the defaults but also having some area where it is possible to define a personal sorting algorithm would be nice.
