I honestly haven't been on top of the downzapping spree. I barely know about downzapping itself, just dug into it a bit after seeing my post from this morning be in the top 10 or so, and then completely disappear from "lit" in the course of 15 minutes.

One account has been downzapping like crazy for a few weeks. It was initially targeted at people without attached wallets but there’s been a lot of collateral damage too.

That's not the case with these posts, it's easy to figure out who it was.

Really? What’s the clue?

Maybe the link's not working well on your PC because of the time zone. Just change the custom filter to March 12, 2026.

Haha, you’re the best SN internal investigator

~lol~lol

Maybe I'm spending too much time on SN, it's small and easy to spot these kinds of situations.

Can you see which specific post a user has downzapped?

reply

No, but some math will figure it out!

Also...I don't know much about these custom queries....

These aren't just downzaps, are they? Looks like general spend?

Which of these things is not like the others? Which of these things doesn’t belong?

I've just been checking my details for previous posts that were more political (Israel, Charlie Kirk, Iran war, etc).

And DAMN! Many of them have been downzapped! Gotta investigate this. I had no idea. I just today realized that my total sats has been getting depleted. I've never had that issue before, my balanced actually increased steadily even though I was actively zapping. But people zapped me back, so I was okay.

But now with this downzapping happening, I'm almost gone...

Gotta look into this more.

That’s not how downzaps work. They go to the rewards pool from the downzapper

reply

Yeah I gotcha, but what's happening is that these posts that I'm making, and where I boost them - they normally get enough zaps to MORE THAN pay for the sats I use to boost them.

But that's not happening anymore.

reply

Ah, yes, that is how downzaps work

You think US state security operatives are not active here on SNs?

Seriously?
