It's similar but not a dupe

  It's a dupe because that's how HN dupes work. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24372326 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24372326 The many hadith of dupe: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=author%3Adang%20dupe&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

    interesting - still seems different to me. Those are about different news articles reporting on the same "event". These are two different (though similar) individual's experiences of Hacktoberfest.

      I mean, you can finesse it a zillion different ways but it's the same story. You can tell it's the same story because you get the same kinds of comments. There's always someone who hasn't seen the story. There's always some slightly different take someone could write about the story. But if these aren't duped out, the front page would be the same five stories every day and complaints about how it's the same five stories. Just flag dupes and carry on!
