I think I was respectful enough to word the original comment I made to the difference between Dokploy & Dokku, not just saying one is better than the other. I've used both successfully and think both are great products - just wanted to share my experience. There seems to be an umbrella recently of self-hosting tools like Coolify/Dokku/Dokploy etc. so wanted to contribute to the discussion in that way. Dokploy is also an open-source project so thought the exposure might be positive on a high ranking HN post.
My comment came out crankier than I intended. I do think comments like yours are valuable, and I agree that you were respectful and informative. I'm just genuinely amused that the top comment is for a completely different tool. That's more an observation about how we vote as a community, not about your post. I include myself in that group though as I have in the past been drawn to the new and shiny over the already known.
Same here. Actually I regularly revisit threads about Dokku, Coolify and CapRover because I know that there are references to other projects that I might have missed.
I personally appreciate it - I really like going to the comments to see other approaches and alternatives whenever something is on here. I don't think it's an insult nor do I think it's out of place if done correctly. HN is one of the only places left on the internet where I expect good value in the comments section and this is one of the reasons.
