The Reddit front page is entirely /r/the_donald posts

[dmead]

and they have zero votes.

It goes on for pages. My guess would be someone phished an admin account and changed which subreddits are included in /r/all.

[DSMan195276 → jerhinesmith]

People over at SRD (SubredditDrama) have shown some fairly convincing evidence that /r/the_donald has some pretty serious vote manipulation going on, which probably has to do with it. And really, honestly it seems fairly obvious once you go on /r/the_donald and realize that everything has around +1800 to +3500 upvotes, but with significantly less comments then it should have (Usually in the 100's or less).

All that said, I though that there was a limit on the number of posts in /r/all that could be from any one subreddit - so I think it's likely that the above along with another factor is the cause.

[khattam → jerhinesmith]

More realistically, some developer fucked up some logic in the new algorithm which is supposed to ignore most of /r/The_Donald for the election.

What's interesting is these aren't the same posts that are at the top of hot for /r/the_donald.

They're looking into it right now, but this is what they believe happened: https://www.reddit.com/r/shittychangelog/comments/59s3ao/red...

Block it, and you get another subreddit - I got politics, then hillary_clinton. It's pretty screwed up.

[elihu]

Looks like https://www.reddit.com/ isn't affected, but https://www.reddit.com/r/all is, regardless of whether you're logged in or not.

edit: looks like it's fixed now.

This must be that new relevancy algorithm team spez was telling us about.

The only thing I see from /r/the_donald at https://www.reddit.com/ or https://www.reddit.com/r/all is related to Pence's plane

They just fixed it.

Personal favorite -

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. A recovery is when Barack Obama loses his.

I liked it better when Ronald Reagan said it.

But yeah, still good.

[echelon]

I don't see it on the front page (logged out), /r/all, mobile, etc. Did it get fixed?

[bartl]

There's another problem ,at least for Twitter's users:

> from hundreds of personally chosen observers

That's quite a daunting task, selecting hundreds of observers. It's not something for most people.

[jmcqk6]

Why did this get flagged?

[swagv1]

And to think I came here looking for hacker news.

[zeusly]

And it's fixed now. I really wonder what caused this.

[windowshopping]

Not for me...not my own front page nor /r/all.

[ncdecay]

I smell a conspiracy

[dczmer]

reddit front page is rigged!
