I saw that the header previously called "hot" changed to "lit", but didn't really delve into it much.
But I just made a post (Israel denied responsibility for Charlie Kirk killing - strange timing though).
And it showed up on "lit" for a while, and then suddenly completely disappeared from that section, even after I look many pages down, via clicking "more".
Do downvotes count in the "lit" calculation? Could someone downvote it away, and is it visible if that happens?

The great thing about Lit is that any post, regardless of when it was published, can show up at the top; what matters is recent interaction.
yes

Ah, okay thanks.
So the "downvoted" link you posted looks like the below now.
So - my post (#1452662) shows up in the list. However, it doesn't show a specific downvote number (like the post "Massacre of girls at Minab school: human error or artificial intelligence?" shows a -5000 downvote).
Do you know why that might be?
Does this more or less mean that anyone can downvote your post into oblivion, if they have enough sats, and don't like your point of view?
This has to do with your settings.
yes
I turned both of my content settings to "wild west".
Should this mean I should be able to see my post? Because I can't, even if I go down, down, down, on the "lit" list.
I think the LIT filter hides posts with (investment - downzap) under 200 sats, but I'm not 100% sure.
cc@k00bAlso, on the earlier screenshot I took (#1452800), for one of the downzapped posts, it had the amount downzapped (-5000). But it didn't for the other downzapped posts, including mine.
Is there a way to find out exactly how much a post was downzapped?
Also, I think this may have been an issue, in general, in Stacker News. I have expected there to be lots more info on the Iran war, and there's barely anything.
I think posts are being downzapped into oblivion.
Got it, thanks.
Funny how my first screenshot actually had the downzap amount right in the list, though.
Also it definitely seems that the downzaps are often explicitly for political purposes.
The largest downzap amount for today is this post Massacre of girls at Minab school: human error or artificial intelligence?
From what I understand, “lit” is basically the new version of “hot”, so it’s a mix of recent activity and sats. If a post stops getting zaps or engagement it can drop out pretty quickly.
