I’m just not used to reading multiple paragraphs of text with large gaps populated with junk between each sentence.
- klodolph 5y agoIsn’t that what the HN comment section is like, though? Or maybe I’m just used to reading things like design documents at work (with tons of comments), or standards documents (with footnotes that take up more space than the page body).
- notreallyserio 5y agoHN threads are more likely to have multiple sentence paragraphs in a single comment and replies are nested N levels deep. The UI between each reply is minimal (aka not tuned for “engagement” KPIs) and is almost too subtle. Also, replies to tweets within one of these multiple-tweet posts are hard to even get to, and I genuinely cannot figure out why Twitter used that design. It can’t help engagement.
