Meta question:

Does anyone know why negative Twitter/X stories tend to drop off the front page so quickly.

It is now ranked 65 despite having a lot of votes in such a short time period.

Just wondering if it's because it is heavily flagged or if the mods are intervening like they have in the past ?

Dang has specifically said recently that Musk content is hit with a penalty as it has a habit of taking over and discourse around these articles falls.
It went from top of page 1 to page 3 by the time I came back to read the comments (less than an hour later). It's definitely someone playing games.
