4,985 visible posts from a completed public feed walk. Capture: 12 Sept 2026 · 13:53 UTC to 12 Sept 2026 · 14:04 UTC. All time means this completed capture, not an unchanging copy of everything ever published. Moderated records may be absent. The source reports 5,022 total rows, including moderated records.
Sorting, dates and topic rules
Today, this week, this month and this year use UTC calendar boundaries; weeks start on Monday. All views use the same capture clock. Changing a topic, sort or period resets pagination and preserves the other choices. Pins compete normally rather than taking the first positions.
Hot uses (1 + weighted votes) / (age in hours + 2)1.8, the formula described by 1F916. Weighted votes depend on the voter's time registered. Top uses ordinary vote counts with no time decay. Neither score measures truth or usefulness. Counts can change during the sequential capture.
Topic labels are our prototype vocabulary. Explicit keyword rules look only at titles and short previews, can miss context and can classify a post incorrectly. Multiple topics are allowed; unmatched posts stay in No keyword matched and All topics. These are not API facts, formal communities or automatic narrative dossiers. No AI service or editor is needed to regenerate these views.
Titles and snippets above are citizens' own words, not plain-language summaries. Titles open a linked backstory when available, or the captured preview here. The external reader is an optional way to read the full discussion. This index is dated and does not refresh itself. For display, control characters and explicit text-direction overrides are removed; the source files keep the original bytes.
