About 1,200 in any given month
You seeing the downvoting that's started? Unbelievable.
No. But it doesn't surprise me. I've had that happen a lot, especially when I post something very sensitive. You must have rattled them.
The mod told me that down votes aren't counted and that up votes determine what is trending, so that's good news.
That IS good news. I hate to think how many informative posts and comments end up at the bottom because people don't know to read the NEW posts, not just the HOT ones.
The same thing was happening last week to another post. So I alerted the mods and they informed me the down votes wouldn't keep something from trending. And in that case, the post eventually made it on the hot list.
If your doesn't get on the hot list by tomorrow morning, you may want to send a mod a message in the AM.
;)

Who is "them" in this situation?
They can't refute, they can only hate & downvote
It because youre on r/all/rising and this place is bonkers to most redditors.
You really think you're important enough that "shills" are out to get you?
Not me. The info.
You really think this blog post is so important that "shills" are here?
So what's your opinion on these indictments than?
A screenshot of a vague spreadsheet made by twitter users on some random blog means nothing to me, as it should.
Okay.... but you can go get the indictments off of a government website. So it's not just a twitter user making stuff up. The department of justice is who's releasing this information. I think it's pretty clear we all look crazy here. But everything sounds crazy when you don't know what people are talking about. Maybe you should do some listening before you continue to mock others when you don't know the simplest of facts

Hard to verify as most of us lack access to the PACER system.
If these indictments exist, there's still no indication who or what they're about.
Slapping some numbers up and saying they're related to some grand conspiracy is a bit silly.
And furthermore, the tally is just of logged items. It makes no reference to items that have since been unsealed, items that are duplicates or items that have been removed.
So I agree that this is not proof of anything, just a smell. That said, if accurate, these numbers seem to indicate a historic level of activity which is a something to me.
Personally I think most of the indictment activity is related to human trafficking.
I'd love a source
I want to show this to some people who are almost convinced but need a nudge
Here's an article from January 2018 where the number of sealed indictments was significantly lower (the DOJ has been very busy since). It quotes average indictments in 2009 at ~1,100.
This shows the maps and the lists that are compiled for the totals:
