this site has some governors in place to prevent a flood of low quality engagement. If things rise too fast, they get pushed down a little and cool off and rise back up. No great conspiracy as I found this thread at the top of HN a day later.
Is there a place where all these rules are written? There's so much supposed meta-HN knowledge in the discussions
