It's a simple plain fact.
You were given no choice in this.
They have chosen to take a side in a difference of opinion and have hidden the other side from you.
By default.
Can you still see what they have chosen to hide from you?
Yes, if you know where to look.
Will you see it in the course of your normal day?
Probably not.
Which is the intent of
Do you even know what I am talking about, dear reader?
You may not have even noticed that some discussions in the hive have been hidden from you.
How could you know they exist if you were never allowed to see them in the first place?
The memory hole is alive and well in the corporatacracy that is
has decided that some voices are not to be heard while others will be given preference by default.
You are not to be given a choice in this, you are to simply not even notice.
I'm gonna guess that that plan was successful.
Most hivizens will have no clue of what I am talking about.
All hail the omniscience of !
So, I naturally spoke up.
I have gotten a response to my query.
It was explained to me in terms of dust votes.
If you don't have enough hp to affect a 1% impact on the payout of the post, your downvote will not register in the ui.
The calculation is done upon opening the post.
It was suggested that if one wants their downvote to show in the ui one should buy more hp.
The downvotes of the xaccounts were defined as noise, and therefore, inconsequential.
Done only with the intent of annoying others.

Or, in the comments of this post.
If you are tired of paying your masters to bomb children in far away places, perhaps it is time you pushed back on that, eh?
A simple way that anybody can do that is to hoard your coins.
A dollar of change in your pocket is a dollar of value out of the banksters' pockets that make the world what it is today.
That is all, for now, you may resume your otherwise mundane day.
To contest the characterization of your day as mundane, make a post of your own explaining why your day is not mundane and ping me, eh?
