Interesting, but I don't think it's useful because it doesn't actually tell you if previous discussion exists or not until you actually click it. I'm not going to click "past" on every story for the 1% chance that it will actually have results.
For it to be useful (to me at least), it should only show up if previous discussion exists, and it should be more prominent.
- mturmon 11y agoInsightful comment. I thought the "past" link was cool when it was pointed out to me. Sometimes past discussions are superior to the current one. But in practice, I almost never use "past", except when I'm pretty sure I have seen the piece before. Your suggestion might fix the issue.
