    running, by the device, iterations of a graph algorithm to determine if the user ranking score for the user and the comment ranking score for the comment authored by the user have converged based on the graph;

    generating, by the device and in response to determining that the user ranking score and the comment ranking score have converged, a ranked list of users, the ranked list including information identifying the user and being ordered based on both the user ranking score and the comment ranking score; and
