Mastodon explicitly doesn't follow these kinds of opaque algos for recommending tweets. The risk that someone will create a "knock-off" twitter? Give me a break. Anyone could do that at any time, there's nothing special about Twitter except the enormous network effect. The only risk I can see in open-sourcing the code is that it would make it easier for people to game the system and attack it in the short run. But opening it to scrutiny and review will make it more robust and less susceptible to attack in the medium-to-long term.
