If you’re feeling extra spicy, upvote someone else’s comment and reply to it. Or reply to it without upvoting. Or upvote every other comment in a chain. Have real-life arguments. Anything to simulate a struggle session.

I’ve been agitating for a while now about the active sort algorithm being broken since downvotes were removed, and a few days ago I remember seeing a post in the modlog that had a lot of comments but that I hadn’t seen on the front page. I want to test whether or not the algorithm was tweaked to deprioritize posts with a lot of comments and relatively few upvotes.

If this change has been made, o7 to the devs

EDIT: Okay maybe give it a few upvotes to get it started in the algorithm, but let it top out at like 25

“Listen here jack, we’re going to clean the democratic party of revisionists and liberalism! No dog-faced pony soldiers for the elite will survive what I’m planning. That mao guy was good, but he didn’t go far enough with the, you know, the thing. Come on fats, we’re going to sieze the means of making, you know, all the things!”
