I did see something similar with two posts of the gnome tiling feature in the same community. The first one had mostly positive comments, while the second one had mostly negative comments. (It seems it did get a few positive comments since I first saw it, but overall it’s still more negative)
The articles the posts link to are different, so that could influence things. Still though, it’s the exact same feature being talked about so it’s weird to see such a strong difference in the majority opinion under the posts.
I think a good compromise would be to place them on a list to be manually reviewed by humans. I’ve seen those brigades so I think you make a great point.
The mentality of “I haven’t seen it so it must be that it doesn’t exist” on some of the replies here is weird.
