HN both has an edit button and is not susceptible to your hypothetical. these are solvable problems.
- icelancer 8y agoHN is, how should I say, not Twitter in any sense of the platform. At all.
- zapzupnz 8y agoHN also has a stricter set of community guidelines (which aren't in themselves all that strict to start with), more heavily moderated, and a generally well-educated, mature-minded user base that is generally appreciative of these two elements.
- dgellow 8y agoAnd way less users.
- zapzupnz 8y agoYep, way fewer users. And what spam accounts exist get squashed pretty quickly. If HN ever releases statistics on the number of users, I'm sure they have more dignity than to include spam and bot accounts — which is, I'm sure, the majority of Twitter accounts.
