Why are you replying to your own coment?

  I think it's a bot? There's an identical version of this comment in another reply, except it cuts off half way through a sentence.

    I hit reply on the wrong post and you can't delete comments or at least I don't see how it can be done

      Above the comments I've written on HN I see: 5 minutes ago | parent | next | edit | delete
      • hxugufjfjf 6mo ago
        That only lasts for a few minutes until it’s locked and you can no longer delete after that.
        • eqvinox 6mo ago
          It lasts 2 full hours, at least for edit. Delete stops working when someone replies afaik.
• rdme 6mo ago
  because I clicked reply on the wrong one and you can't delete it...

  Of course I can’t prove it, but i am guessing some kind of “AI” is doing that. Humans rarely use emdashes.

        Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

      Please don't break the site guidelines, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are. You're right about em dashes of course (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47154752 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47154752) but being right on a point does not make it ok to attack another user or violate the rules of the site. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
