I was surprised to see that someone downzapped the join market post. It was good. I even reposted it on X and nostr yesterday.
I also reposted about Kudzai's post about internet censorship on X and nostr.
So perhaps that has something to do with why those two posts attracted downzapping attention? I have had posts of mine about Internet censorship get downzapped before.
I would also suggest that it's possible that these Iran/Israel posts wouldn't get downzapped as much if they weren't being boosted onto the front page. I realize not all of them were boosted, but some of what we are seeing is people using zaps to negotiate how visible a post should be. Rather than being a conspiracy, isn't it just the market figuring this out?
