Surely you're not saying that everyone should just start posting all of cloudflare's blog posts? Let alone all blog posts on the net. So, what's the threshold

Surely you're not saying that everyone should just start posting all of cloudflare's blog posts? Let alone all blog posts on the net.
So, what's the threshold for what should be shared, given that most people don't know most thing things...?
- patapong 1y agoIsn't this the point of upvoting though - if people find it interesting and new, they will upvote and stuff will be visible. I also think HN does some sort of deduplication if something has been posted recently (to count as upvote instead of new submission), but not sure of the details.
- glenstein 1y agoIt's also the point of commenting. I think they were hoping for a more specific explanation along the lines of "I'm interested in it because it has X, Y, Z implications" or "Oxy continues to be important because ____ and here's the best comprehensive intro to it."
- stingraycharles 1y agoPeople can submit anything they want. If it’s interesting, it’ll get upvoted. If not, it’ll not reach the front page. Isn’t that the whole benefit of sites like HN and Reddit?
- wmf 1y agoI think it would be nice to have a Hacker Canon of stuff that's no longer news but still worth reading. Maybe the HN front page could have a few threads looking back 1/5/10/20 years where people could re-discuss things in a historical context.
