Basically, the court said that algorithmically selected content doesn’t qualify for Section 230 protections, which could be a massive impact to every social media platform out there that has any sort of algorithm selecting content, which, well, is all of them.

There might be some question over whether a simple-enough algorithm (such as newest or most voted sort) should be excepted if opted into by the user.
I’d be fine with the defaults being newest-to-oldest or top-score, depending on the type of site.
