X made their algorithm open source.

Your standing is based on how other users interact with your account. These tables show how different positive and negative interactions are weighted relative to a single like.

A reply from a mutual is equivalent to 40 likes, and a reply from nonmutual equivalent to 10 likes.

A report is equivalent to negative 468 likes, and a mute is equivalent to negative 118 likes which is, surprisingly, more harmful to your account than being blocked (negative 62 likes).

This explains why your post reach gets nuked after you go viral, when it should have the opposite effect; hordes of seething shitlibs mass report any vaguely right-wing account they encounter.

Really great idea to create such an easily gameable system on your "free speech" website.
