This falls apart completely if you’re like me and only see the list presented on brutalist.report which is strictly chronological and with zero algorithms.
Looks algorithmic to me. Reverse-chronological with upvote threshold(?), where upvotes are correlated with sort rank on vanilla HN.
Again, not a thing if you are on the site I mentioned.
Indeed, if you go out of your way to circumvent automatic story ranking, the particularities of automatic story ranking no longer affect you...

I just hope you don't believe that somehow this magically allows you to escape bias. A (reverse) chronological sort is still a sort.
