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
This one time,
I was running through the fields
When I came across a dead guy
With a letter in his hand,
So I scanned it,
And though the grammar was okay,
There was such a lack of purpose
That it was difficult to care.
But anyway, hidden in the mess of letters lies the awful truth,
Yeah, that Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks.
Yeah, nothing in this life can take her common shame away,
Yeah, 'cause Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks.
The next day (about ten o’clock)
It was playing on my mind (well, I say it was) So I edited it for context (good job)
Till there was nothing fit to print.
But anyway, hidden in the mess of letters lies the awful truth,
Yeah, that Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks.
Woah, but nothing in this life can take her common shame away,
Yeah, 'cause Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks.
Maybe it’s an old cliché, but sometimes things are better left expected.
You let your manatee down and then you drown: that’s just the way with nature.
I’ve been here once or twice before with better hair, and let me tell you,
Only the good die young, except for when they don’t, it’s not exactly fair.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Holy shit you made me Google it and it goes back to the 1500s? Wow I never knew
I don’t have time for this nonsense!
edit: #26 on active sort with 3 upbears and maybe 30 comments? Forgot to pay attention to the comment number. Edit2: 40 comments
Listen fat, I want to see you get married to one of those It Girls, one of those flappers daddy used to like, Jack. Cornpop had his main squeeze and you should too, stupid. I used to run with some bad boys when I met your meemaw, tough hombres, we used to slick our hair back with torpedo grease, Jacob. You understand, right?
You got all types of guys being where they do all the time. But when you guy- when you loo- listen man, listen man alright? It’s like when we, when you get into the oval office day one, you gotta be around who you gotta be to see. And if you’re not seeing who you wanna- who you wanna go to to be who you are all the time whether you’re Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or any other type of holiday, see, you’re not gonna- you’re not gonna- exc- excuse me, you’re not gonna- you’re not gonna excrimate what we’re trying to do with the current president. And when you’re not, when you’re not being- being- being that where you are, you’ve gotta- you gotta do who you know. Thank you.
“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!”
