    “This will be repeated every 4 weeks”

    This sentence alone tells me it’s not really going to be made open-source.
    You don’t need to open-source something repeatedly.

      They are only open sourcing the spaghetti that sticks to the wall.
      Carefully curated and redacted/obscured/replaced where appropriate.
      Probably removing hard coded rules like “always show musk tweets” and stuff like that

    To be fair, I didn’t read the article…

    But how would one open source an algorithm? Wouldn’t it be the implementation of an algorithm be what is open sourced?

    I hate the overuse and frequent misunderstanding of this word.

    Last week, my twitter feed started being filled with random political posts and engagement bait. It got so bad (about 70% is stuff I’m not interested in), that I’ve finally stopped using twitter.

    I guess this could explain why the algorithm changed so suddenly.
