Funny HN design detail: Once a comment has been added to a comment, the original commenter can't delete it's comment.
Sometimes this is counterproductive to the goal of HN.
- mh- 2y agoIt is unfortunate sometimes. Probably a net gain to the signal-to-noise ratio, though?
- lysace 2y agoI think it's a bad design. There should be a window of a few minutes to override it. I made a rash comment (not a very bad one, but I introduced politics for no reason), very quickly regretted it, but you were faster. Now many people will read this idiotic exchange instead of doing something more productive.
