- O__________O 4y agoAgree that’s possible, though tried to think of a more valuable reasoning. To me, posting comments with notes for yourself is basically spam, especially comment like “following” - which adds less value than just upvoting a comment; to follow comment, just click the timestamp to bookmark it and/or sign-in, upvote it, then look through your upvoted comments in your profile.
- ROTMetro 4y agoWoah dude. Calm down. From your parent comment...find the good.
- O__________O 4y agoTrying to find the best possible reading of a comment does not mean ignoring the literal meaning of a comment. If the comment was, as speculated, a reminder for the user, it’s not appropriate and counter to HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- gnicholas 4y agoI think this is what 'favoriting' comments is for. Much easier to find than sifting through all comments ever upvoted. Your bookmark idea is also a good one.
