- Buttons840 3y agoWhat are y'all talking about? I don't see a story with 700 upvotes. Can you link it?
- TheAlchemist 3y agoIt’s this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36891642 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36891642
- asddubs 3y agoIt's on page 4 or so, compared to the stories surrounding it based on votes / recency, it's definitely been muted
- Clubber 3y agoPerhaps there is a time component to the sort algorithm? As of now its 13 hours old.
- veave 3y agoIt's because of the ratio of votes:comments. The higher the comments the lowest the score because the administration of a discussion site thinks users are not capable of having discussions.
- __david__ 3y agoRemember that hacker news auto buries controversial posts, where “controversial” is defined as some ratio of comments to upvotes (I don’t remember the specific amount). Basically stories that have about as many comments as upvotes fall off the front page much quicker than a story with the same upvotes but fewer comments.
- LinuxBender 3y agoHN has algorithms to detect flame-wars that will de-rank a thread. I don't know if that is the case here, only dang could answer that. People could email him to ask.
- TheAlchemist 3y agoOh ! I always assumed it’s only some kind of upvotes / comments per time ratio that determines the ranking. Will ask dang, thanks.
- ksec 3y ago>it’s definitely getting silenced It has a high vote and comment ratio. Along with some downvote on comments. that is why it is on 4th page.
