> what kind of "algorithm" makes your upvotes not work

HN's voting system drops certain votes for a variety of reasons, usually connected to the anti-abuse measures we've built up over the years. That software is a vital part of why this community has survived as long as it has. I believe the community understands this.

> Dang also went through and downvoted every comment I have to oblivion

I downvoted one comment that broke the site guidelines and two offtopic comments about Hamas (of all things). Your comments got hundreds of other downvotes from regular users. That shouldn't be unexpected, given how badly you've been breaking the site guidelines.

My Hamas comment was a reply to someone else who inappropriately brought them up, but of course you knew that. I think you took gaslighting lessons from Sam Altman!

They inappropriately brought it up, and you inappropriately perpetuated it. I downvoted both.
