This will improve a lot soon too.
We'll have stacker settings for sat filters for each comments and posts. It makes downzaps way more effective at helping others avoid baddies - anyone can push a comment/post below other stackers thresholds and it's collapsed/hidden.
It'll ship in the next few days. Just doing final testing now.

Hey SolomonSatoshi.... If you want to see my gun, pay me 1000 sats for this image and 3 months 100 sats for each of my SN posts. And read the damn FAQ https://stacker.news/faq#what-are-cowboy-credits

One of the reasons I really like Stacker News is that sats are the moderator.
If you don't like what another stacker is saying you can mute them so you don't get notifications from their replies or downzap them so that their comments are ranked lower.

Please hold off for a week or two. The non-custodial wallets aren't working very well at the moment but I've got some fixes lined up.
