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.

    Something is controversial if there is a variety of opinions. You can use the variance to quantity that. In this case, it’s just upvotes and downvotes so maybe there’s a simpler way to calculate variance for that case.
