Just for the record, the reply to this comment by bopbeepboop that was downvoted to "dead" status is a good example of the type of downvoting I disagree with.
I also understand that this isn't my site, and that I have no control over the behavior of others on this site. I'm just putting that out there.

Look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26735029 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26735029 near the end of the tread, the post by dang A good trick is to go to the comment history, and search until you find the last streak of not dead comments. It's fine to vouch the [dead] comments (if they are fine), and enough vouch unkill the comment. In the case of bopbeepboop it looks like many of the comments were vouched.
- godshatter 5y agoOK, I guess I was working under the assumption that the comment was dead because it was downvoted enough times. My bad.
- jjav 5y ago> It's fine to vouch the [dead] comments (if they are fine) How does one do that? Haven't seen any option to do that.
