I like how that thread about the Dissenter browser only received 30 upvoats and fucking straight up disappeared from the front page. Nothing to see here goys. (whatever)

Shit is getting weird. The Dissenter browser should have been something we discuss here on Voat, whether you support it or not it's logical that it would have been a topic of conversation. Instead it received less upvoats than a bunch of inane bullshit that was posted yesterday.

I don't know exactly how the algorithm works but it is hardly unusual for a post to get 30 upvotes and then disappear from the front page. Just because you expect a post to get traction and a lot of discussion doesn't mean it will. I am certainly surprised by posts doing well or not all the time. It could just reflect the time of day or the happenstance of what else is posted around the same time.

I've explained at length in this thread why Dissenter is practically revolutionary software ( not necessarily the browser ).

There's no reason Voat wouldn't have multiple high profile threads about it. Instead there was just one. With 30 upvoats, that couldn't be found on anywhere unless you went to the specific subverse it was posted to.

I was shadow banned from Reddit. I know what it looks like.
