Novel thought police on a power trip that got a taste for manipmaxxing after burying the BIP-110 AMA. Don't worry, ideas worth reading are preserved in top-by-downsats.
It's not like stackers will fight - we learned that earlier this year. So like a good bunch of sheep we will wait for it to pass.
Look at the top downzapped posts though. There doesn't seem to be a real pattern to it
I've been following it closely. It's frontpage-editing.
Don't look just at the downzaps, look at zaps and boosts too.
Edit: PS: your gql scripts can answer your initial question - just query comments by sats, re-sort by boosts. Then you have a name.

A name as in who's doing it? I don't think the public API exposes the zaps table (who zapped or downzapped who). But I can definitely get posts/comments and sort them by boost / downzap / zap
Boost is always to self, so that is why you can <3
Ah... hmm hmm! Good point.
Though, if I make a post exposing them, they could change their tactics and use sock puppets to zap their own posts, rather than boosting.
Yeah. I personally wouldn't give much more attention to it than we're already doing, really. People like attention.
Hmm, interesting. You might be right. What would you say is their agenda?
I could make this the special topic of my next Stacker News Monthly, haha

Fight for what? The temporary position of items on a niche website?
I almost downzapped #1349267 because I was very annoyed by some very old post showing up at the top again, and it wasn't immediately clear. But then I realized I can just wait a few hours, or someone else is going to "fight" for me.
Why are you triggered by downzaps?
Who's downzapping everyone? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason
