Posts and comments ordered by most total votes but that are close to zero score. I guess this should only be available on instances with the downvotes active.

There is a request for a comment on this issue Controversial posts and comments #2515. Do you have any ideas on how best to implement this?

I’d like to see some more people chime in with opinions, but maybe that’ll come with a PR. At the very least, it’s something that can be moved forward with.

    I like this. Super clean and simple.

    That said, I suspect Reddit’s ‘controversial’ sorting might work a little differently, as I often used it to see what the crazy people were saying.

    I haven’t played with the numbers, but I’m not sure that your proposal would push the crazies to the top - just the moderate crazies.
