I understand what you are saying but as someone on the receiving end of this list, I am in a better position to understand someone at gunpoint not buying the "Relax, in one year we have a voting system to decide if the bullet goes out or not" stance.
Do you understand the censorship is not limited to the trending feed? I am not talking of the fact you have to actively click on "Display comment" to read this (which is quite soft of a censorship but still a hurdle IRL). I am talking of the fact that a base level post is not shown even in the Recent feed. Nor you get a notification I replied to you or tagged @starkerz (unless you happen to be on a cool frontend). That is an actual dealbreaker and it is no coincidence multiple DVers off the list have openly sweated their targets' reputation score.
I root for the alternative frontend but once it is live it is still - you know - an alternative frontend for the minority that is censorship-(over)sensitive.
Threespeak doesn’t do trending this way. Ura is never censored on threespeak trending front end. When we release our blogging front end we will just give the option to select which type of trending you like
