So I checked in an anonymous window to see what you did - you moved the parent post and some of its sub-posts, but my reply to the guy still is here, now as top-level comment without context. That makes no sense!
- dang 10y agoThat's how we handle off-topic subthreads on HN. It has context because we provide a link to the place it originally was.
- Noseshine 10y agoThat's not what I meant. You didn't detach the subthread - you detached the thread and a sub-subthread but left another sub-subthread - my post - and now it has become the top-comment, replacing the former comment it was a reply to. You destroyed the thread structure and now it's an incomprehensible mess - who responded to whom? Now the original post that I replied to is available as link BELOW the reply! Why not shift the ENTIRE sub-thread instead of parts of it?
