Request for ranking by upvoats only (stops trolls and kikes from affecting listings by their downvote squads).

It should be an option.

Maybe even the default homepage showing.

I asked for this for years on Reddit when it was obvious that there were people who were trying to stop things from being seen but of course I was naive because Reddit actually was actively trying to stop things from being seen.

The idea of a downvote philosophically is that good-minded people will downvote things that are obviously inaccurate or wrong in some way. But what it's actually used for is by people who don't want other people to see things that are truthful.

If you think about it there really isn't any reason for down vote although I'm not saying to get rid of it. If people want to see the ranking based on the sum of upvotes versus downvotes for each post well that's fine. But if you really think about it there's no reason for downvotes.
What you really want to see is the topic or post that the most people have been excited about and upvoated. That won't happen for bad posts.
And you don't want half those people to be negated by professional Mossad trolls and kikes coming in here and trying to keep you from seeing that information.

It's become more and more common when I'll load the front page on "new" for new rankings that I see a bunch of good posts I'll have negative one as their votes. And that's just a sign that somebody is going through and downvoated a bunch of really good posts to try to keep them from getting momentum and rising to the top.


Now this is going to become more and more problematic is this place becomes more and more popular and it is. It's going to attract Mossad paid streetshitters to do this and it's going to attract Jewish trolls and they're going to try to do to this place what they did at reddit. And I don't want to argue about it fight about it. There's no reason not to give people the choice to see things right only by the number of upvotes without any consideration for the number of downvotes. Just give people the choice.

It's easy to modify the code and duplicate it so that there's an extra choice on the menu up there it says upvotes only and you take out the one portion of the code where it sums in the downvotes with the upvotes before doing the ranking.

I even did it for Reddit but they wouldn't incorporate it into the site because of course they wanted to be able to download stuff they didn't want people to see. Hell they probably had automatic algorithms working in the background that loaded things with down votes that they didn't want mentioned like jews.

Anyway this place hopefully isn't really trying to control the narrative by having a bunch of downvotes and letting Mossad run ripshod over this place.

So how about it?

It would just be full of Neri threads, don't you think?.
