It feels misleading of him to include an article he wrote in the Press section.
"Community - This content is not subject to review by Daily Kos staff prior to publication."
- cf100clunk 7mo agoI'm not joshhacks, just somebody who came across his web app and posted it on HN. I wasn't personally mislead, so I'm not sure what you meant by misleading.
- verdverm 7mo agoI think they mean when companies or projects say "in the press", they typically mean content created and published by 3rd parties, not the 1st party on a 3rd party site that basically allows anyone to post like social media.
- cf100clunk 7mo agoOkay, that'd imply self-promotion, but if joshhacks also posted a link to this HN discussion, would it also seem misleading? I'm unsure.
- verdverm 7mo agoI wouldn't call HN "press", but I do put more weight behind HN discussions because they often have multiple perspectives, and giving site visitors an easy link to potential criticism for transparency is a trust signal to me. I still want to see the source before installing. This is a sensitive topic and the current US government seeks to punish anyone who does. I don't know who "joshhacks" is, but I do know the gov't is not above honeypots for this.
- crtasm 7mo agoOh - no I didn't think you were him. I was only commenting about his Press page.
