I notice that it would be helpful if there was some way of seeing whether it’s your first point,
IMO your thinking about diversity here really lacks nuance, basically misses the main problem, and leaves me feeling troubled
or your second point,
Note that, at least in the United States, doing this is usually illegal
that’s garnering most of the upvotes and agreement votes.
Because the second point is a statement of fact that, while being important in general, isn’t so important to me. Whereas the first point could potentially majorly update my all-things-considered belief on the topic at hand, and cause me to change my actions.
(My guess, however, is that this doesn’t happen frequently enough for there to be, for example:
a new Forum norm like making separate points as separate comments
a new Forum feature like being able to add multiple points in a comment at which others can agree/disagree vote)

Yeah, I’d really like to know this too. Maybe I should’ve made two comments.
I can certainly say my upvote was for the former and not the latter
