NEWS: X has pushed more of its For You algorithm code to GitHub. Here is what the latest drop changes: > Appeals can pause auto-enforcement. If a human overturns a suspend or label, the system can hold off putting it back. It sits behind a switch, so it may not be live yet. > My Network threads now reach friends of friends. You can reply if you are one hop from the author, even if you do not follow them. > Follow checks now fail open. A post is hidden only when the follow or block check returns yes. If that graph data is missing, a post that should be hidden can still show. > Spam gates moved to 125k followers. The coordinated-spam scan now skips accounts over 125k, up from 100k. Gemma reply-spam review now starts at 125k, down from 150k. > Cold retrieval can give new accounts a lift. Some new authors get the same boost as other sources. Everyone else still sees those posts ranked normally. Source: xai-org on GitHub
