Technological measures can keep it in check, but the only thing .win does right is showing both up and down votes and not collapsing downvoted comments, but collapsing will inevitably come as threads get too big to read and makes it too tempting.
Other things they can do:
limit number of subscribed forums to like 100 or whatever. You want to "belong" in a thousand forums? To bad, narrow it down to 100 or fuck off. This keeps people from subscribing to everything to bypass restrictions.
forum subscription takes a day to complete. Prevents people from signing up just to bypass restrictions.
if you're not a subscriber your comments take 30 minutes to post and you have to come back after 30 to finish posting them. This prevents drive-by sniping and front-page flash mobs.
default sort is downvotes are 1/4 upvote. This elevates thoughtfully-presented minority views. It would elevate hivemind as well, but to drown out dissent fanatics would have to upvote dozens of times for ever comment they wanted to suppress instead of just all downvoting the small amount of dissent.
limit up/down votes to like 5 per post per account. You don't have to show this limit to people, but the fanatics who vote hundreds of comments per post are never adding to thoughtful discussion. If the hivemind wants to waste their vote "me too"-ing their bs then dissent is more powerful.
These things are easy to do and I don't think you can even make a case against being effective. I think they haven't done things like this because they want a right-wing echo chamber like an anti-reddit - but it won't be, the hordes of unemployed liberals will take over eventually unless the system itself encourages sanity.
I've seen you mention that a lot, what is the deal with ConsumeProduct? Is that invaded by actual nazis? I also feel this place is getting some of that.

You forgot the part of the main post where the stated goal is genocide of the white race.
We’re too cute to be genocided! 🥰
Hecking cute and valid.
If you can't tell that's bait, I don't know what to say. They probably are white.
Nah there's background there.
Those weirdos are only half joking.
It also doesn't change the fact that, until recently, this was a right-wing bastion. The nazi sub got rolled, let's see if this one does.
I'm guessing no and this site slowly but surely goes the way of reddit.

I'm on the list now. Not sure what I did though.
I'm sorry, but who? As in, who is everyone involved in this little pissy drama?
My questions exactly. Who indeed!
Rebranding and opening up Reddit-style claimable communities is going exactly as I thought it would.
Is this a gay op to push users to Truth Social?
What the fuck is even going on?
tell him:
"Niggers tongue my anus"
If you haven't been accused, you are playing too safe.
Congrats, you've taken your first step into being a real internet racist.
Apparently owns Antiwork too.
I don't like ConPro, I'm sure everyone here knows that. I've even blamed them for the decline of this site's metrics.
But I don't want you/them harassed off the site by Redditors.
Maybe one out every dozen or so posts over there aren't insane jew hating propaganda that does nothing but hurt "our side" of this culture war.
The 1 is usually an OK post mocking insane consumersism.
The userbase is still mostly the core it has been for a while but on various accounts.
Occasionally there's a fitness, gardening, homestead, etc, type thread but it's hard to have that as constant content.
You might be surprised at the kind of responses you'll get if you make a thread on that kind of stuff.
Maybe 13/53
Or 14/88
I still can't get over them cropping a woman's name out of a picture of an article they posted.
Should watermark the next one "u/TheImpossible1 is right"
Libertarian doesn't mean doormat, bro. It means "I won't start a fight, but I will fucking end one".
The irony of the leftist idea that being part of something endorses what the most radical members do.
Maybe it's a confession that, yes, all feminists are radical, "kill all men" psychopaths.
No friends to the right, no enemies to the left. It’s been a thing for decades.
What's a ConPro?
c¦ConsumeProduct
I've seen you mention that a lot, what is the deal with ConsumeProduct? Is that invaded by actual nazis? I also feel this place is getting some of that.
ConsumeProduct is a whiny Jew-hating shithole.
I wouldn't mind them if they didn't constantly lie, brigade and report people they disagree with.
Why is it named ConsumeProduct? That just sounds like a sub for examples of exploitive corporation behavior.
Yea what ever, I did notice there is a huge anti-jew movement going on here as well.
#MeToo
If this isn't bait, then fish aren't real.
