I think equating chronological feeds to an algorithm is needlessly reductive and kind of pedantic. I’m not slamming anyone that argues it, and it does have its own issues.
But nothing is imparted on the content the way it is with a weighted algorithm or any form of synthetic ranking. In fact it’s entirely outside of the application and follows naturally from the flow of time. That can’t be algorithmic behaviour in the way that people argue against.
