Sure, technically, chronological ordering is an algorithm. I wonder what you would want. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  Tweets flowing at 250kbps or more 24/7, of course… Edit: the way “chronological” timeline works is, Twitter decides on your social graph and hide posts until it fits your serving. Shadowbans, Boosting and Deboosting are factored in as well. That is technically chronological, only technically.

That is technically chronological, only technically. Source? The thing is I compare chronological timeline with lists (of users I follow) all the time, and I didn't notice any missing tweets. "Shadowbanned" tweets always were visible in lists, I personally checked that.

      Yeah, unless something has changed drastically in the couple of months since I stopped using Twitter, I believe the web-based chronological timeline is exactly as you say. As soon as you click on a tweet to see replies you're getting things ranked, of course. But one's home timeline should be fine.

    In my experience it just shows me all the tweets from people I follow in chronological order.
