>I notice how quickly this story is descending through the pages. It's already off the front page.

HN doesn't even have a downvote button.

HN does have flagging for submissions which can downrank them, and this submission is marked as [flagged] so that's probably what happened here.

  • Yes. I was wondering why it is flagged though.

    • Generally when I post something unflattering about Tesla, Meta or Airbnb it gets flagged. Just a pattern I've noticed. The Tesla ones get flagged the fastest!

I know.

It’s fascinating to see which stories take a dive.

  • So you don't know why exactly this story was "taking a dive", but regardless you're going to assume the Meta employee responsible for the feature has an HN account and is somehow causing it?

    • Huh?

      Way to interpolate. Kudos to your reach! I just was pointing out that it's likely that the employee responsible was here. The diving is highly unlikely to be triggered by a single employee (unless it was that "employee").

      No, but if it was flagged, it's possible that it was by Meta employees. I can't see why it would be flagged, otherwise. I'll bet there's enough for a good flash mob, like the Elon stans that always flag down stories critical of him.

      I'll bet they will also be flagging my comment.

      It's nice to be loved...
