This is untrue. It depends on your sorting option. It does change sorting for "hot" for example. You can also sort exclusively by upvotes I think, as well as controversial. Active it does not matter though I don't think.
This is partly true. While upvoting has some effect, boosting (at least on Kbin) has a much greater effect on sorting. For example, no comments were boosted on this thread, with Omgarm's 12 upvote comment below 1984's 42 upvote comment when using hot sorting. I boosted Omgarm's comment and it is now at the top of the page despite have less than half the upvotes.
That's a weird system. I haven't used Kbin, except for where it intersects Lemmy, so I wasn't aware of that being a thing even. On Lemmy we don't see that sort of thing.
What does "blacklisting by admins" mean?
I didn't have my morning caffeine, I read it wrong. Thanks for explaining.
Unlike on Reddit.
