from a certain domain
There's more than a bit of leftist elitism at work. E.g. I once made the mistake of submitting something from breitbart.com. It never appeared in 'new'.
When I'm logged in, it shows me that I've submitted 5 items. Examining my submissions anonymously only shows 4 items. Perhaps there are 5 if someone has 'showdead' on?
Putin's external propaganda site, rt.com, is OK, heaven forbid that Breitbart be afforded that same privilege.
- madeofpalk 11y agoI think the simpler reason is for a similar reasons as to why Medium get's penalised by the algo - links from Breitbart (and Medium) generate less useful discussions than other sites, thus they must 'work harder' to 'earn' their place on the front page. Similar to the 'flame war detection' that flags posts with more comments than (up)votes.
