I think the saddest thing is that the average user on this site is over 30. I wouldn’t be so “wowed” if this was a middle school group chat but I am. 

When it comes to demographics, I’m thinking the people running things around here are not “reading the room” correctly.

Then, again, that ain’t my bitch.

Here’s my bitch: 

Social media has created the softest little bitchy f’ing c**ts.

But, I digress.

You posted a simple fact: it’s about “engagement”. Period. 

And you have people disagreeing with said “simple fact”…or they don’t like it…or they’re…well…just “disagreeable”…? 🤣

Still, I’m enjoying the fact that some folks have reached out to me to tell me that I was or…I am… “auto-blocked”.

That’s interesting.

Has anyone explained why?

All of this anonymous thumbs down blocking woke protect us bullshit makes me want to “engage” less in here. Case in point. Mx file guy makes a post about the trailblazers banquet and gets downvotes , sounds like a couple real motorcycle enthusiasts there… lol. 

You know you can see who voted thumbs up or down by clicking the number next to the thumb up/down icon rite?IMG 0136

It looks like the blocking feature may be off for the moment - I don't currently see anything blocked, not even ones that have been blocked since its inception.

Half-right - you can see upvoters but not downvoters... unless that just changed.

I think it's based on the upvote to downvote ratio, if a blocked thread gets enough upvotes it can be brought out of solitary back into the general population.

Agreed - I think it's a pos/neg differential (maybe a net -15 gets it hidden) , but a little while ago threads that were hidden for days suddenly weren't and then a few minutes later they were again, with no change in the up/down totals.

Who knows what's going on in the matrix... 🤪

If it's about getting "Clicks" it's working, "Which thread was this, click, oh shit wrong one, must be this one, nope", then the 3rd try you get the one you were looking for and the bean counters just got 2 extra clicks. Genius really 😆

Seems like it works on the "there's no such thing as bad press" principle - one can never get too much attention. 🙄
