I've got a meta question. This thread isn't showing up for me in discussion, main, or anywhere else I can find except on the recent posts sidebar. Judging by the timestamp, it should be right up on the top of the page, but it isn't. Can someone guess why this is? Like, is there a setting one needs to change in order to see negatively scored posts?

In addition to any score threshold you set in the preferences, posts you downvoted will not show up on the front page.

(this seems like a nice feature by the way, it reduces the attention people pay to content they don't like, which should reduce negative comments and arguments)

Edit: hum, seems this is actually an option one can set in the preferences, maybe I set it and nobody alse did.

It's a really bad feature, in that it encourages echo chamber behavior- people who opt out in one way or another are more likely to disagree.

I don't see that happen, but in my prefs I have "Don't show articles after i've disliked them" unchecked.
