What filters to the front page is interesting too. For instance, I just saw what was clearly a artificially promoted post in /new with 17 upvotes... and no real responses? It wasn't even flagged. I think it was shadowbanned from the front page, and everyone looking at /new just collectively knew to ignore it. Another interesting bit is the flagging/vouching system. It would be in a disaster some places, but is very effective here.
