I still haven’t decided on whether top, hot or scaled is the best sort. I feel like all of them feels “wrong” somehow. Any ideas?

      This is how I do it but be aware voting through this method leads to shitty mods banning you under the pretence of drive by voting. Doesn’t stop me but just FYI.

          Their justification is you’re not a participant in the community, yet you’re voting. Of course theres 0 reflection on the content coming out of their subs comm and it has no weight in the decision.

          For brigading I can understand but a couple of mods have a very low bar for it. One banned me recently because of it. Likely because two low effort post made it to all in a short window from a meat base comm. I’ve downvoted vegan post more often back in the early days and they dgaf.

            Funnily enough I was just banned and blocked by a mod when I commented on a post mentioning that they’ve accidentally reposted an image they’ve already submitted. Kind of surprised since I recognized the username and thought they were decent enough as a user.

            while bans are not something i’ve done, i’ve noticed a lot of downvotes in [email protected] from people that clearly haven’t checked what community the post is in

              For that comm I could see users downvoting it for a lot of the post being negative/rants but yeah it does happen when it isn’t deserved unfortunately. I just don’t think banning should be a knee jerk response as other mods have done.

        Mods watching votes is creepy

          I would be surprised if they haven’t automated it at this point. I’ve been meaning to post about it since it’s reeks of vote manipulation to me but I’ll give it some more time first.

      Ayy, this is the way (and once you view enough you switch to hot and then to active, then you exit and return in ~40seconds and start over)
