> In my experience, articles directly related to tech, like diversity in tech will stay open to comments for a long time before mods respond to flags and lock it...

Actually, the mods generally don't get involved in this at all. If an article is flagged by enough users it automatically gets killed (marked "[dead]"), at which point you can't add any more comments.

Sometimes the mods will revive a killed article if it's not off-topic and people ask for it to be reopened.

You can reach the moderators at [e-mail] if you have concerns about moderation issues.
