Just as a data point, I didn’t read OP as an attack at all.
I also don’t think that if you have overall negative feedback, you should necessarily have to come up with some good things to say as well, just to balance things out and “be nice”. OP said what they wanted to say and it reads to me like valuable feedback, including the subtle undertone of frustration.
As a data point on the object level, I think that magic sorting makes sense on a website with intense traffic (HN, reddit), not on a site with a few posts a day.
