I’ve noticed that Facebook seems to “bump” discussions that get new comments to the top of the group feed. This seems like a sufficient explanation: a topic that’s controversial will get more comments, which will bump it to the top of the group, which will get it more attention, which will get it more comments, etc. Controversy feedback loop!
