If you're curious about how the feed works now, it's basically: 1. Take casts from your following and order them reverse chron 2. Move casts higher if they're from someone you interact with a lot 3. Move casts higher if they have a lot of engagement 4. Move casts lower if you've seen them before

Nice transparency. Are you planning on posting the actual algo, too? You could keep an archival repository of every version on something like arweave...

No, we’re long past the days where feed ranking systems are simple algorithms. There’s not a few lines of code you can publish and someone can read and go “aha that’s how it works” See the “open sourced twitter algo” for what I mean

Fair. Excuse the ignorance, but is Warpcast's code (including ranking system) open source?
