@hildabast@mastodon.online @mission_europa@universeodon.com I'm going to be pedantic here and point out that systematically sorting the posts, boosts, and replies of people you follow into chronological order IS an "algorithm."

@donnodubus@mas.to @hildabast@mastodon.online @mission_europa@universeodon.com it's valuing toots based on how recent they are, which is the functional equivalent of not using an algorithm. There's also a functional difference between sorting by simple criteria and sorting by a complex algorithm.

@donnodubus@mas.to @mission_europa@universeodon.com Yep, but I don't think that's what people mean in common usage.
