Interesting, #1 raw rank yet never made it past ~#10 - haven’t seen that specifically: https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=50133401

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)

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

The post was visible when I am logged in. But when I opened the /newest page on incognito the post wasn't there.

It’s #14 on homepage when not logged in, same as when logged in.
