I didn't immediately think it was astroturf either. I'll say that when I post a joke, I give it a boost by immediately voting it fun in addition to the default insightful vote. Combined with the low age, this makes the algorithm rank it quite high (I saw it on #7 or so straight away), but this effect is counteracted if there isn't a stream of upvotes. But a post like this is easy to consume and invites quick upvotes, so those could all be authentic. Will you consider undeleting it? I think a bit of banter about the situation will do us all good.

Edit: or maybe wait a little while until the astroturf votes lose their significance, and then undelete?

I checked who voted on it. It was not organic, it was obviously-named accounts used for astroturfing that I've been deleting for weeks. Only organic votes were you and timmy.

Right, I saw your other post just now. I suspect you missed my edit. Could you wait a little while until the astroturf votes lose their significance, and then undelete?

Sure I will unremove it later
