Also also, why are socialist-vibe blogposts so often relegated to “personal blogpost” while capitalist-vibe blogposts aren’t? I mean, I get the automatic barrage of downvotes, but you’d think the mods would at least try to appear impartial.
Posts are categorized as frontpage / personal once or twice per day, and start out as personal by default. Your post hasn’t been looked at yet. (The specific details of what object-level political takes a post has aren’t an input to that decision. Whether a post is frontpaged or not is a function of its “timelessness”—i.e. whether we expect people will still find value in reading the post years later—and general interest to the LW userbase.)

Ah thanks! I’m probably just in an unlucky timezone then.
