If you're feeling extra spicy, upvote someone else's comment and reply to it. Or reply to it without upvoting. Or upvote every other comment in a chain. Have real-life arguments. Anything to simulate a struggle session.
I've been agitating for a while now about the active sort algorithm being broken since downvotes were removed, and a few days ago I remember seeing a post in the modlog that had a lot of comments but that I hadn't seen on the front page. I want to test whether or not the algorithm was tweaked to deprioritize posts with a lot of comments and relatively few upvotes.
If this change has been made, o7 to the devs
EDIT: Okay maybe give it a few upvotes to get it started in the algorithm, but let it top out at like 25
Hey it's the Microsoft word default template!
It goes back a bit further than that
Holy shit you made me Google it and it goes back to the 1500s? Wow I never knew
I know right? Like, I don't like tradition as a general concept, but I do think it's really cool that we've kept this one piece of filler nonsense text for half a millennium out of basically only convenience and a sense of tradition. That's kinda wild
I mean if it works, it works I guess? No need to change it. Yeah but it is wild, and cool
