- dang 2y ago/active shows the threads that are accumulating comments most quickly. If we ranked the frontpage that way, then HN would be a flamewar site. Therefore we don't rank the frontpage that way.
- insane_dreamer 2y agofair enough; thanks for the explain. I do appreciate that HN doesn't turn into a flamewar while allowing discussions and not flagging everything just because it's controversial, especially with all the impactful stuff going on. kudos on the moderating and threading that needle; tough job
