I think you’re talking about the comment by whatdoinghere (as I don’t see any dead comments in your name in this thread).
If that is your comment indeed, I think the problem was that you were overly dismissive and sarcastic. The parent poster asks questions instead, and doesn’t make remarks beyond stating the facts – this reads as harsh, but fair. (I also suppose they’ve accumulated some karma and this helps with the flagging algorithm somehow.)
- stayclassyhn2 2y ago"I think the problem was that you were overly dismissive and sarcastic." Maybe. "There is zero information on the submitted page besides what's in the title, and this is a six-year-old GitHub repository with no activity in years." We made the same points though I'm admittedly more flippant and curt.
- notpushkin 2y agoYeah, I agree, the point is basically the same – I think it’s the tone that was the problem. You don’t have to be overly positive and wrap your opinion with tons of fluff, just remember it’s other people’s work you’re talking about (and not everybody is good at explaining what they do!)
