Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is not a lie. This is a shorthand to quickly convey a meaningful feature. Namely, no algorithmic timeline manipulating what you see. It’s just that, a timeline. Next you’ll be telling me that calling something “cool” is a lie, because that new T-shirt doesn’t have a low temperature.
But it is - sorting by timestamp is certainly an algorithm.
In a world where people nitpick each other to death, sure. Meanwhile, in the real world, language has meaning beyond the literal expression.
And I'm willing to put money on the fact that their target audience understands perfectly what "no algorithm" means. Heck, even the people complaining know what it means, they just like being right.
