This is just sorting by new right? that’s still an improvement, but I think that will make me post on this thread less. If you want I’ll study and write the formula I’d use.
We already have an algorithm like that (“magic”), which is used for sorting frontpage posts. Based on your experience with the frontpage, does that sound useful, or would you want something else? (At the moment, the top comments might stay at the top for a few extra days, but I expect you’d want them up for weeks or months instead — the algorithm could be changed in the case where it applies to comments.)
There’s nothing wrong with using the suggestion thread — that’s why it’s here! But if we do implement magic sort for comments at some point, I’ll use that instead.
Done. (This turned out to be existing functionality, albeit obscure. I’m going to apply it to a few other “evergreen” posts of mine.)

Feels like “magic” would be better than sorting by new.
I guess I reckon 20 karma a month ago should be worth more than 60 karma 6 months ago. How does that sound?
Yeah now I come here and all my posts are at the top and that feels bad.

I think if people come to this thread and see 8 of one persons suggestions as the first 8 they will probably grow to resent that person.
Also, I was using grammarly on this page and it was reaaally slowing down typing speed. FYI.
Now we need a way to hide this post since it’s been answered.
