Ask HN: Is “GitHub, f*ck your name change” being suppressed?
"GitHub, f*ck your name change" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26487854 currently has 3113 points (highest voted I've seen in a long time) and is only 16 hours old, however it is on page 2, why is this? Maybe because of the title?
- vermilingua 6y agoHN deranks posts when the comment/vote ratio gets higher, because a high number of comments usually indicates flamewarring. For better or worse, this is applied to everything; no, this particular post is not being suppressed, there have been more incendiary titles sitting for longer on the front page.
- jpillora 6y agoInteresting, thanks for the reply
- approxim8ion 6y agoIt was right on top of the front page yesterday. Probably just aging to allow new posts to show up.
