Does the percentages in the profile tab mean that "popular" people end up with a low score due to the sheer number of replies they receive? Will that then affect their visibility, making them "less popular", balancing the userbase and making everyone grow linearly in popularity?

The question is not how you become popular (big number of followers, replies, mentions), but why you become popular (quality of your updates and replies). The popularity can't be completely linear, but it can be constant and consistent.

That's really cool. Is there any way to see the logic behind the scenes or is it all a secret sauce?

There aren't many things going on. The heavy lifting is done by Django. PS: I wish I registered your account earlier for lucianmarin.com/mo...

Yeah I saw that bit only after I registered. If I didn't have to hunt for the about page (where are the links!?) I would have kept the username open.

It seems that @eric is available. You can rename it to that if you want.
