Well, as a member of this community, it's my right and duty to cast a vote for flagging. If I'm an outlier, it won't have any effect.
I believe this post is off-topic as it's political and doesn't satisfy my "hacker curiosity". There are other venues to discuss these topics.
- tayo42 2y ago> If I'm an outlier, it won't have any effect. How many people does it take to flag a post to the point where it doesnt show up anymore?
- dang 2y agoIt depends on how many upvotes there also are.
- GeoAtreides 2y agoso then it follows that for a fresh story it only takes a couple of people flagging... that means two or three people spawn-camping the new queue can control what stories will or will not get through
- belorn 2y agoI would assume there are counter measures and detection. I strongly remember people discussing up-voting rings/puppet groups that pushed stories on slashdot and reddit, and the counter measures used to prevent that. I don't recall if dang has ever openly discussed such security measures, through I do recall him saying that people can loose access to flag/voting if they are misused.
