We've added /top/posts/day?by=downsats for anyone interested in joining the fight against aggressive downzappers. This should satiate calls for a new sort.
We've also made it so that when zaps are split, aka forwarded, on posts, the recipient of the largest share that is able to receive sats via a not-custodial zap, will receive sats.
To declutter things, I've moved the extra cowboy badges (gun and horse) to profile pages.
There are few other minor things too but they aren't worth mentioning.
Are you going to share your thoughts about the aggressive downzapping?
I don't like it and found it incredibly frustrating yet interesting. We don't have immediate plans to deviate from the
money is the moderatorexperiment.The problem is one of outliers. Mods and trust are the usual way forums deal with outliers, which we can always introduce. For now, we want to deal with problems as surgically as we can. Stackers can see when there are aggressive upzaps but aggressive downzaps hide their effects so this new sort is aimed at helping that.
I'd be happy to answer any specific questions if you have them.
but now I can find all the downzaps:

This is excellent!
also your own stuff: https://stacker.news/Scoresby/all?by=downsats
The last X items didn’t get any downzaps. But they still show up.
I'm supportive of continuing the experiment, and believe in the idea at a conceptual level.
The solution to trolls should be more tools to tailor your own experience, and sorting by downsats is a good step.
I suppose some decisions need to get made about what the
defaultexperience will look like, esp for new and not logged in users. But that's a lot of money for a troll to spend to influence the experience of non-commital users only. And every bad-faith downzap is actually a net resource contribution to other stackers, so while we may dislike the effect it has on rankings, we can't complain about big reward pools.Thanks for the sats forwards. Awesome.
I'll be making an update to bounties this week that I think ~Stacker_Sports will very much appreciate.
Awesome!
Thank you!
We are pleased that built-in and ongoing sorting mechanisms are rendering our snapshot-based post mechanism obsolete. Snapshots are a suboptimal solution, and while we had developed additional contingency measures, we are satisfied to retain these in reserve. Should a future discoverability crisis arise, these resources remain available for our deployment. We hope this proves unnecessary indefinitely, though.
Serving as a
downzap rodto ~meta was a satisfying side effect. We hope that these daily posts did not cause undue inconvenience or frustration to the team.Out of curiosity: What makes a downzap aggressive?
Opposes a consensus of stackers in magnitude and is motivated by something other than the content.
i thought the effect of downzaps was growing logarithmically anyway? 🙈
Power law, bruh
Please remove the rewards pool.
Then all this trouble will go away.
If a person vote against a content he must pay money like pay 30 sats so 9 satoshis to the territory and 21 satoshis against content so owner lose 21 satoshis debited from his wallet attached or 21 CC so there will no be anymore aggressive downzapping becausse people think 10 times before downzap a content unlike downzap for free.
