It's clearly heavily down voted, just look at when it was added, how many points it has and its relative position.

You cant downvote HN posts (comments you can)

[an0malous → throwoutway]

They presumably meant that it’s been downranked relative to what you’d expect from a post with that many upvotes in that short of a time frame. Hundreds of upvotes in a few hours is usually a top 5 post

One of my page was 2nd on the main page trending towards 1st, a single flagging pushed it to the middle of the second page.

Yes flagging is super downvote
