Have asked @denlillaapan if it is him.
Asked if he would post his recent SN wallet spending graph to prove it is not him and offering 10,000 sats for his trouble.
The downzapper has their TOP stats concealed and so does @denlillaapan- he is by far the highest earning content provider to conceal his SNs TOP stats.
He has also posted disparagingly about war posts.
He initially did not respond but after several comments asking the same question and getting others claiming I was harassing him he responded by claiming is not him but ignoring the request for showing his recent SN wallet spending graph.
Whoever the downzapper is they are not prepared to stand up for and admit their actions and the reasoning behind them.
They are determined and deceitful.
20% of stackers support the war.

Stacker News staff seem unperturbed by the effective censorship of posts questioning the war.
There appears to be no way to verify who the downzapper is without access to internal SN data as the downzapper chooses to conceal their TOP data and SNs devs have shown no enthusiasm or will to do anything about it, at least in response to requests from me which have mostly gone unanswered, if not responded with personal attacks and trolling primarily from @Scoresby, but I bet 10,000 sats it is @denlillaapan.
I asked three times of @Scoresby-
'Is downzapping 300000+ sats to silence dialogue and discussion of The Greater Israel Project and other war related posts while concealing your identity behaviour that you endorse and encourage here on Stacker News?'
He three times refused to answer instead continually attacking me for even raising the issue and claiming that my asking to see a stackers SN spending wallet graph was unreasonable as it could lead to doxxing. He knows very well this is apologist nonsense as only a stacker who has chosen to conceal their SN wallet TOP data does not already share this data.
SNs is actively enabling Zionist censorship.
It doesn't matter who it is. That's irrelevant and leads us down the wrong path.
What is relevant is that Stacker News downzapping can't work this way. I'm not going to stay long-term on a platform on which it is absolutely trivial to completely censor a post - no discussion, no nothing - so that nobody can see it, because they disagree with the politics.
I'm not sure what the answer is. But the fact is that now, with enough sats, you can downzap anything to completely disappear it.
I know there's a lot of game theory here, that I may have not thought about. But this at least needs to be discussed.
Let's see how long this is up, until it's downzapped to oblivion.
I don't know what the solution to the downzap problem is but we definitely don't have it yet. At this point almost all posts that are anti Iran war or anti Zionist are downzapped completely off the main feed, without any discussion or commentary.
Everybody - I encourage you to regularly check these links, which show the most downzapped posts. You should know what you're being prevented from seeing.
