Now it's at 19,508 downzaps.

Somebody REALLY doesn't want downzapping to be discussed.

Wow.

reply

Whoever is doing most of the downzapping appears to have their nym concealed from TOP statistics.

@denlillaapan has his nym concealed from TOP stats.

Co-incidence?

reply

I thought it was likely @Cje95. You don't think so?

reply

@Cje95 is strongly pro US but he also engages in dialogue and debate on this topic and more broadly on others...he does not actively resist and avoid a contest of ideas or hide his views.

@denlillaapan rarely engages in a contest of ideas- almost exclusively only practices echo chamber circle jerking with those who agree with his views. @denlillaapan actively avoids discussing the war and does not reveal his views on it.

@Cje95 profile is not hidden in TOP stats. He could have a second nym that is concealed but would he spend 300000 sats to silence a post raising the issue of The Greater Israel Project?

@denlillaapan nym is hidden in TOP stats and also enjoys substantial SN income probably sufficient to fund the downzapping.

The downzapping is from someone with strong pro US pro Zionist viewpoint and they are using a concealed nym to do it and spending a lot of CCs or sats to remove any news, views and dialogue opposing the war and especially the Israeli Zionist genocides and expansionary land grab intentions.

@denlillipan will you show your recent satistics spending graph ?

Bet 10000 sats you wont.

P.S. It could be @coffeebadger who also conceals in TOP stats, is rabidly pro US to the point of absurdity, and maybe a @Cje95 proxy!

Whoever is doing it is not man enough to own up to their actions nor explain them...they are deliberately concealing theor identity

reply

I don't know how to downzap. Too reddit-like of a feature for my taste.

reply

Lol that's good to know so would you show your last weeks spending graph to confirm that ?

I will zap you 2000 sats in fraternal appreciation if you do.

I understand you don't like your posts getting downzapped but this request of yours goes a bit too far, is too intrusive, same as tagging people, questioning their views, making unfounded accusations etc.

It's definitely not good forum etiquette, and no-one has to prove you anything.

Please stop.

Respectfully

reply

Respectfully, you do not understand the issue or are simply misrepresenting my position deliberately.

Please do not do that- it is disrespectful and bad forum etiquette.

I have explained the situation in full - if you follow this thread with @Scoresby to the end you will see that.

Nobody has to do anything and if @denlillaapan does not want to show his SN wallet history and receive 10000 sats for his trouble that is his choice and speaks for itself.

Stop acting as an apologist for people who seek to obstruct free and frank dialogue on Stacker News while hiding behind 'stacker is in hiding'

reply

Thanks but that doesn't show your nym- can you please include nym in the screenshot?

eg-

reply

Dude: telling other people to show their account stats is total dick behavior.

P.S. @Cje95 has only spent 766 sats in the last week so it cannot be him, directly at least.

reply

Nor can it be Coffeebadger.

Resounding silence from @denlillaapan

reply

Where is the downzap category? I only see LIT/NEW/TOP.

reply

You can get downzaps by installing the browser extension that I created (it'll give you a permanent downzaps button in Stacker.news). The botom of this post has instructions on how to install the extension - #1473885.

The extension also has a cool new feature, which is that downzaps are high-lighted in red (otherwise it's 3 clicks to see each item's downzaps, which is a pain).

Or, you can just regularly go to this link, for the top weekly downzaps.

under TOP

I usually realize there's been some downzapping the next day, when I get a lot more rewards than I'd expected.

Personally, I only ever downzap at 21 sats as a "thumbs down" to a post (and even then, the bar is pretty high). I like my sats way too much to spend hundreds or thousands trying to hide a post from others.

reply

Wow! The downzap campaign is fierce

43 sats \ 1 reply \ @OT 17 Apr

Thinking about sats in dollars, it doesn't take much to wipe out the ideas/opinions that you don't want to hear.

reply

Exactly! Almost everybody just looks at the default feed. Unless you're explicitly looking at new, or downzaps, you won't see these censored posts.

There must be a way to set up your feed to not be so susceptible to anyone with a lot of sats.

Any post related to trump definitely gets a downzap, is that it or a targeted approach?

reply

What I've seen it it, it's just pro Iran war rhetoric, could be from Trump or anyone else.

reply

do your posts about the downzapping also get downzapped?

reply

Yes, this one is already downzapped 200 sats.

You can tap the 3 dots to the right of the post, look at details, and see the downzaps.

Also, if you go here: https://stacker.news/top/posts/week?by=downsats - you can see the top weekly downzaps.

reply

I checked this one before I asked, it was at 0(I think). I was just wondering if you had been noticing a trend in your own

reply

Only for the anti war posts have I ever been downzapped (since I started noticing downzaps, anyway)

reply

Well, almost all of people here are USAians. Also... These posts (including this one) seem to have high positive sat ballance, so is that really a problem?

reply

I do think it's a problem. I didn't really understand downzapping until one my my (anti war) posts disappeared, then I started looking into it.

I think it would be great to be able to have MY main feed ignore downzaps from certain people. I'd pay for that.

Or ignore downzaps from unnamed people. Or something similar. I just want to know who is influencing my feed.
