Why is the comment form at the bottom of the thread instead of the top? (kbin.social)

I can completely understand wanting to differentiate from Reddit, but to me, this is a matter of convenience and priority. Putting right after the article implies commenting on the article is emphasized. Putting it at the bottom of the comment page implies a want to comment on the comments.

Maybe there's a reason I'm not seeing here? Am I just dumb?

I like that it's at the bottom. That encourages at least skimming the other comments before you add your own, hopefully cutting down on the number of times people comment the exact same thing.

If you want it to be at the top instead, that's one of the options provided by the Kbin enhancement script.

Perfect. Thank you.
