So, I like the voting system on social media because it surfaces good comments.
But I don't like when the vote ranks stifle good retorts, which is what has now happened here. Logged out users won't see this entire thread of replies because the comment to which you are replying is marked "dead".
What's the solution?
- jdlshore 4y agoIf you have sufficient HN karma, you can click the time stamp and then the “vouch” link. It will bring the comment back from the dead.
- rhaksw 4y agoThanks, I did so in this case, though in general I'm wary of that button. The system could count against me if I "vouch" for something that people later downvote. We don't knowfor sure what happens because they don't tell us how it works.
