Articles with a certain number of downvotes (4? 5?) disappear automatically from the list of posts, regardless of content. I wish this number of downvotes were set higher, say to 10 or 15. The only thing I want to go away fast are spam posts and truly horrendous articles; things that are overall disapproved by the community to the point of just 5-10 downvotes, like this article, can still spark interesting discussions I don't want to miss.
You can adjust your personal settings. I have mine set to never disappear things.
Me too.
The defaults were set ridiculously low, and I dislike the thought that a handful of ideologically motivated people could effectively Memory Hole topics and opinions they disliked.
This is yet another opportunity for me to opine about the pitiful state of collaborative filtering on web site software. It was about a zillion times better 20 years ago with mailing list software and Usenet.
What did they have that worked better?
Usenet killfiles allowed an elaborate scoring system.
The Extropian mailing list, which I'm sure has a few refugees here, was a mix of collaborative filtering and user scoring. I didn't use it extensively, but it was there.
Thank you! I didn't know that.
