...and advertised them as "Discussions on similar submissions", where no discussion took place. Just post the links, as parent recommended, rather than making readers go through the intermediate step of clicking an HN link. And then clearly label it as "other links about hummingbirds" rather than "Discussions...". :-)
- latchkey 3y ago2 of the links did have comments. The bike shedding over 'discussions' versus 'comments' is amazing.
- pvg 3y agoIt's pretty much the HN convention, you can find lots of moderator and other comments about it. Posting links to previous significant discussions makes sense, posting links to links a lot less so.
- latchkey 3y agoI thought we were supposed to be talking about Humming Birds, not bike shedding a comment. I have feeder outside my window. They come and go all day long. Beautiful birds really.
- meristohm 3y agoI think your critics have a point. I looked at the text of the links, then at the number of comments, and skipped all of them, because I'm mainly here for a c82 page, but I am a sucker for HN discussions. It was misleading, unless meant as a presage to the eventual discussions your linking will generate?
