Weirdly, if authors go to their stats dashboards, the sort is by comment threads, not total comments, and I never figured out why they don't have that as an option on filter pages (unless it's just prohibitive in terms of database calculations.)

But yeah, sort by comment as is gets pretty useless even if no authors answer comments and you exclude chaptered fics, because all it takes is two fans getting in a long conversation together and they completely blow the curve.

Yeah, I was coming here to say this. It's weird that AO3 *could* display number of threads instead of total number of comments, but it just... doesn't? I wish that the default display was number of threads.

But yeah, given that it's not, I am not too bothered by appearing like I'm inflating my comment count. I like replying to comments to thank the person who left them; I like when authors reply to mine. If people think that's comment inflating rather than a preference for actually acknowledging people like a human being, I don't particularly care for their opinion to be honest.

Yeah and honestly as someone who never gets around to replies, I'm not bothered by people who actually bother to work on building dialogues getting a small stats boost. They deserve it.
