Last post was flagged; not sure why as this is directly relevant to YC and HN.
- pvg 2y agoIt's a link to a random tweet with a made up title which is not how HN posts normally work, take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- marxisttemp 2y agoI’m aware of the title conventions. Should I have reposted the entire text of the tweet, then? It’s not a random tweet, it was reposted by YC founder Paul Graham.
- pvg 2y agoPeople's retweets are generally not a great HN topic, you can more or less derive that from the site guidelines as well.
- marxisttemp 2y agoI agree in general, but I think perhaps the founder of the site we are discussing on reposting right wing grift media is worthy of discussion. I’ll let dang decide.
- pvg 2y agoHe hasn't been involved with YC or HN for many years, as far as I know. But 'dumb shit people tweet' is a bad HN topic either way. Graham (and just about everybody) has retweeted far dumber shit than that. You'd need a separate site just to talk about dumb shit people tweet. Or use the site where they twote it.
