Where's the NFT Replicas Post?

[mathieubordere]

It was at the top of HN a few moments ago and now can't be found in the top 120.

Edit: it’s at 127, pretty deep.

It's because NFTs are a scam and people are getting tired of having to repeat that bit of old news.

[dang]

No, it's because the topic has become the same flamewar, endlessly repeated, and those are off topic for HN.

If you look at /lists at the bottom of the page, there's something called /active which is sort of backdoor into (mostly) flamewar land. It's the kind of thing you like if you like that kind of thing.

That makes more sense, thanks. I suppose that's also why I don't really look in there that often, but now that it's described as flamewar central I can put a label on the 'why'.

What's the deal with that? Never seen a thread drop off so quickly before.

I'm pretty new to HN how does the sorting algorithm work for HN stories anyway?

It’s at 123 point, submitted 3 hours ago, but there are posts on the frontpage from 6 hours ago with just 106 points.

So it’s either overheated discussion or moderator decision, which of them is it?

[dang]

Both.

Appreciate the work you do to keep this site civil. Is downweighing through moderator action a binary feature or is the pressure adjustable depending on the moderator's discretion?

[dang]

It's adjustable in the sense that there are different weights.

sounds overheated
