A bit of randomness, but also just a few adjustments to flatten out the curve to avoid a pure power law distribution. For example, if "scores" are divided like [1500, 800, 300, 20, 15, 13] we divide the love something like [6,5,4,3,2,1], where the person with "13" gets 1/6th the attention as opposed to 1/115th.
The implementation doesn't reflect this exactly but that's the idea.
This is currently only for new users, but we'll be making this info more discoverable throughout other parts of the site as well. We're hesitant to put out straight leaderboards unless we did it tastefully. We wouldn't want to make it too much of a competition. So that's why we take our time with these sorts of things.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
"We have tried to spread the love so it's not totally top-heavy, so you may get some new followers even if you are not a top contributor."
Is this randomized? Curious how would you implement this.

Is this for new joiners only?
How can i find the top posters for my most interested subject?
Most Interested subject could also be calculated by my user patterns :)
