"Hacker" "news" is not an open system. The source code, AFAIK, is proprietary, and the FAQ even states that votes are not counted 1:1, which implies "algorithms" and other hand-wavy stuff.

For an actual open social media system, where moderator actions and source code are public for all to review, see https://lobste.rs.
