    Idk, I kinda like it. It has some bugs that need fixing, but I like it overall

        afaik, the devs know that some ppl don't like the thing, and there's a conversation happening around building a toggle

      Agree. It's a good feature but it lacks feedback for the users. It doesn't tell them where the comment went, or when it will move. Preferably it shouldn't move a comment currently being read (click on the comments to mark them like reddit?)

        I feel like making them 'slide' instead of 'snap' would solve a lot of the usability problems ppl run into. But I also know that the devs have big plans for this place, and that they're working really quickly at them .

          Yep, animated slide to their new place would remove all confusion it causes.

            If the scrollbar position was also adjusted to where the comment went. <chef kiss>

      I appreciate the complexity of the problem that the auto updating presents to the dev team. Thanks to all of you for the hard work that's been put into this site

        Ya, I'm just an mod with admin characteristics, but I see some of the internal workings of what the devs are up to, and it's very impressive. They are extremely coordinated, dedicated, and good at what they do. They put so much into this site, and it consistently blows me away. Go devs!
