I wasn't following the saga of this post. Money is a hell of a moderator.
I think it is. I was almost never downzapped, until I started posting content about the Charlie Kirk assassination, Israel, and the Iran war.
I also never had my posts disappear off the front page instantly, because somebody did a massive downzap, until I started writing on these topics.
In such a situation, wouldn't you just lack visibility until a trusted person zapped you?
Absent downzaps, there would be no way to nuke content.
It's not entirely unrelated either. I doubt most boosted posts would receive as many downzaps.
Same ... Quite crazy
I have already explained why I continued to boost the post.
Perhaps you missed that?
It is because until a few weeks ago I had never heard of The Greater Israel Project.
When I did come across it I thought 'this is probably a conspiracy theory, surely?!'
So I put it out there to see what the reaction would be- stackers collective knowledge and freedom of speech on SNs might know more about it and be able to show if it just another conspiracy theory, or confirm it.
The response was nobody refuted that it was real, some quoted biblical passages which are supposedly the religious belief origin and basis of The Greater Israel Project'.
At the same time somebody seemed determined to remove the post- so I responded thinking there is perhaps something to this TGIP but it is too sensitive for some to allow it to be discussed....so there is all the more need for it to be known and discussed!
I am still not certain how much truth there is in TGIP (it seems like there is at least some) but it would explain a lot about the entire shitshow that seems to go on endlessly in the middle east all my life and if it could explain the Israeli motives and be known more widely known then at least people might have a better understanding of the problem.
If Israelis really believe they were promised this huge region by God then that surely would explain a lot that I and probably most of humanity cannot understand otherwise.
Another detail to note here is that this post has been boosted more than 300k sats.
It was posted on 2 April and i know that ive seen it on the front page a bunch.
Another way to tell the story is that the author boosts it back to the front page repeatedly, and stackers get tired of seeing it, so they downzap so they can see other things appear on the front page.
But then the author boosts it again et voila it is the most downzapped posts, but also one of the most boosted posts.
