Some posts are capped artificially around 50 typically, but some exceed this threshold and make it as far as 250 upvotes. Since 3 months or so ago, none of these posts go up beyond the hundreds into the thousands, but I noticed there's a handful of other accounts whose posts frequently are upvoted into the thousands. Statistics says this is wildly unlikely over random data.

I think instead of thinking or accusing those accounts as having a private bot net that's artificially colluding to boost their posts, I think it's probably more correct to say that cloudflare is "deeboosting" certain accountholder's posts by 'dropping' upvote action clicks on those accountholder's posts.

You see, on YOUR end, you can click up on a person's post, and the front end javascript will register an upvote (the wall build animation), but it won't actually happen on the server, you just assume it does. This can be tested by unplugging your internet cable and clicking upvote. It still happens, except that it doesn't.

You can refresh and see that your upvote has no effect on this. That's because why? It's cached. The page is cached. You move on, having concluded that this is normal.

I dismissed this initially as "issues with long stale caching issues on thedonald.win"...this site NEEDS caching because of the large amount of activity; I didn't think anything of it, because caching is a plausibly deniable explanation as to why your upvotes don't matter and why your posts which used to be in thousands suddenly are all capped in the tens of upvotes.

You also say, 'well the site has more users now, that's why'. No. it's statistically unlikely that your posts initially are found within 2 minutes to have 30 upvotes, and then stop at 50, and then have that happen frequently. 2 to 30 is a velocity, it's a HIGH velocity. 30 people upvoting a "new" post means it has some virality to it. To stop at 50 after 30 minutes and then linger at 50, 12 hours later means it's capped.

It's penaltyboxed

This is not a complaint it's science. It's an observation that is repeatable, and a hypothesis, supported by evidence building into a working theory.

Once the post is stuck, you use two alt accounts to upvote, and then you wait. Wait 5 minutes, an hour, 5 hours, those vote still didn't register.

CAUGHT. Either this site is doing this, or cloudflare is doing it. I really doubt it's thedonald.win, but it could be. I'm not accusing them of this. I've not been censored and was actually invited to their discord server that had nothing going on.

Now either they did that to insult me, as in invite me to a party and then I'm the only one who shows up and they laugh at me, or discord simply sucks and no one was around, or I'm retarded and don't know how to use discord (most likely option). I don't assume the worst in people, so that is why I suspect cloudflare

Also, cloudflare has interfered wildly with my access to Voat.co before, and also to greatawakening.win and even reddit.

That's how you know it is CLOUDFLARE that is caught being a political man in the middle dropping out your votes.

It's hard to prove this, you can only trace it and use deductive reasoning on this platform, and inductive reasoning of how their site has behaved on other platforms.
