I lurk far more than I comment, but I can also explain why others would feel the desire to do so as well. Seems like many threads here get a lot of argumentative back and forth and that can make people hesitant. Also with new accounts, I understand people not wanting to make it

Yeah me too and I appreciate you engaging because I know my direct and transparent tone is not interpreted how I intend it inside Codesmith, where the response has been 'badmouth me private, ignore in public and respond with positivity'.
But yeah I had notifications on for the entire post and got one 1 hour ago for different comment, and then came back 20 mins later for this comment. None of the other comments on the post had any engagement changes at (no comment/no change in votes) and this comment had 11 upvotes within 10 minutes.
I wish this place would be more welcoming easy to have professional discussions, but none of this behavior makes it approachable.
