Title: So, I was actively paying attention to a particular topic that was on the front page recently, Facebook saying no to a licence change request from the Apache Software Foundation.[1]<p>This thread had over 750 points, and 250 comments. However, all of a sudden, after 12 hours of being present, it is being marked as a duplicate of [2], which has under 150 points, not nearly as many comments (approximately 130), and no presence on the front page (or the next 10 pages for that matter).<p>Surely policy should prefer the thread with the most activity and more points? Particularly when it&#x27;s on something I really wish to pay attention to (or rather, the commentary of HN participants which I value, of which [1] was receiving a lot of), given that it seriously affects the direction of present and future projects (which, at this stage, will no longer be utilising React).<p>Cheers.<p>[1] - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15050841
