I don't think this is the right choice when the titles are so different.
I did not read "Why we are leaving Heroku" because someone's gripes with a host I don't use is low-priority. Its effectively invisible to me. I am however interested in the broader story that impacts dozens of companies, changes to US law and the nature of privacy itself - so I read this one and it was clearly gathering more interest.
How about retitling the other story and merging the discussions?
- dang 11y agoWhether it's a duplicate is not a question of the titles but of the story's content. Two stories from the same site advocating for exactly the same cause are pretty clearly dupes by the usual HN standard. But since people seem to feel strongly about this one, we'll override that and restore it.
