Well, yes, you're right, I was asleep/away when that apparent meltdown happened. I'm still kinda amazed that there hasn't been a front page discussion regarding AWS/Parler. I've tried really hard to understand your points, but I can't really follow your logic. > You can argue that AWS is in a different category than app stores and that therefore this article was indeed SNI. I actually agree with that. But as I said, the thread wasn't any different There were two top-level comments (and three commments in total). That seems like it may be a bit of premature to judge from? Is the solution to make a new post in a day or two, with some nuance?

I suppose I may be forgetting things in a sleep-deprived blur but I'm pretty sure there were dozens of comments in this thread when I merged it, and I remember double checking them carefully to see if there was anything specific in this discussion. There wasn't. It was all generic, and indistinguishable from the stuff in the other threads. That's what tilted me toward merging it: yes, the specific detail of this story was significant, but no one was paying any attention to it. Genericness and repetition are the enemies of curiosity. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=generic%20discussion%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=curiosity%20repetition%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... If past experience is any indicator, you needn't worry about missing any opportunity to discuss any of this. Nobody is trying to deprive you of that, and from experience I can tell you that the worry is on the other side—that HN will become inundated and overwhelmed by it. It's our job not to let that happen. p.s. If by "three comments" you mean the ones that are still here, they were posted after I merged the original set.
