Just a guess:
Maybe the person who saw it as [delayed] is using a third party HN reader app and the HN website itself filters out delayed comments while returning it via the API as the [delayed] string and expecting clients to do the filtering?
- jader201 3y agoThis would explain the OP being annoyed to the point of asking for a ban on it. I’ve also never seen it in the many users of (mostly many times daily) visiting HN.
- Ruthalas 3y agoI use a 3rd party app, and see messages marked [delayed] not infrequently. Just as another data point.
- mulmen 3y agoOk, that tracks. Which third party app?
- rainbowzootsuit 3y agoI use Materialistic and see [delayed] all the time. Never knew what it was. I'm one of today's 10, I guess.
