Trump administration bans WeChat, TikTok from app stores beginning on Sunday
- justin66 6y agoIt's interesting and peculiar that stories on this topic are being very quickly flagged by someone.
- detaro 6y agoThere are two submissions about this on the front page right now though? (EDIT: and a larger discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24515461 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24515461)
- justin66 6y agoI assume that's because a sufficient number of people vouched for them and commented on them because they were posted a little earlier. (the alternative, that people possess an extremely strong preference for the Financial Times, strikes me as unlikely) It's not a big deal, but I do hope people who are flag-happy lose that ability in short order, since it's really not a feature that ought to be used very often.
- detaro 6y agoIf there are already running threads on the topic (and looking at them, commenting started pretty much immediately), duplicates don't do the sites any good (and are not supposed to even be submitted), so flaggin them is not a problem IMHO, although it is good custom to add a comment pointing to the already existing threads.
