I don't disagree, I might even argue that twitter is comprised of many algorithms. We can argue all software is algorithms, or we can just call it software.

That just moves the terminology around and doesn't answer people's questions. Everyone would simply start asking, "what software or lines of code directly affect my timeline?"
The "timeline algorithm" is a perfectly normal way to describe what people ask about.
