"HN comments needs an on-topic vs off-topic filter. Or a "yes we already know that" filter..."
They already do; if something doesn't positively contribute to the discussion, downvote it.
- DrJokepu 11y agoYes, well that doesn't seem to be working very well, does it?
- andybak 11y agoI wasn't entirely serious about the filters but that's a fair point. I suppose what I'm actually saying is "Can we all downvote the more worn-out type of comments a bit more actively?". Which now I'm come out and said it sounds overly optimistic. ;-)
- gotchange 11y agoYes we can and I started by yours. Sorry not adding to the discussion.
- andybak 11y agoI actually edited my top level comment immediately after writing it to try and engage more directly with the topic at hand and tone down the 'meta-ness' of my post. Even so I'm slightly embarrassed that it's the top voted comment. I'd prefer it if a more strictly on-topic comment was above me.
