This submission went from #5 to #42 in a minute so I'm assuming it's been deranked. An explanation would be nice, in case a moderator is around.
edit: now it's no longer there at all. Welp.
- Macha 4y agoCould be automated, there's the flamebait detector that deranks if it gets a high comments/vote ratio.
- steveklabnik 4y ago(not a mod just been on this website forever) At this exact moment, there's 49 points, but 45 comments. If comments >= points, you get a significant ranking penalty (the "flamebait detector", iirc). I can't say for sure that that's happened, but given how close the two numbers are, I bet at some point that was true.
- fasterthanlime 4y agoAhhh, that sounds likely, thanks!

- andreareina 4y agoGiven the controversy on-thread about the length of the intro, calling it the bottom emoji, and the title making it sound like the problem is specific to that emoji, I wouldn't be surprised if it has collected a number of flags as well as tripping the overheated discursion detector. FWIW I enjoy your articles in general and this was not an exception, although I could have done with a shorter exposition myself ;)
