    Yes, I was checking out both projects but got distracted and didn't notice which one I replied to. By the time someone kindly pointed it out the edit window had closed.

  And it's on top. I wonder how often people actually read entire article or the comment. I think most often people read the first line and just choose if they agree or don't agree with comment and vote accordingly. More often I have seen that the top comment on the article is completely opposite perspective of what is in the article. For example, if article is about why Flutter or Go is amazing we will see why both are worst choices ever as top comment here. I think it just proves people feel the "need" to comment only if they disagree. If they agree with article they don't bother explaining and hence low comment count. In short, a controversial topic will generate lot of engagement and hence other social network don't bother moderating and let people engage in harmful behaviours to society at whole.
