And I'm here wondering if there's a limit to HN's nested replies.
- bravetraveler 4mo agoI'll continue to do my part as time allows, also curious. Anyway, if enough flag the top [like I did], it'll collapse.
- kmstout 4mo agoEvery so often, ask others just how far their ideas go.
- bravetraveler 4mo agoGreat minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Observe, etc.
- Barbing 4mo agoYou found a comment to flag in this thread? Didn’t catch rulebreaking myself.
- bravetraveler 4mo agoSure, I didn't restrict to rule breaking. As I already said, it serves the function of compressing the conversation others complained about.
- Barbing 4mo agoDownvotes may offer that function too, I think. Thought the flag was “hey this guy can’t call me a doodoohead with no ‘J/K’ at the end!”, rule break like rudeness or spam or slop Guess I better read the rules Edit: IDK why I can’t always downvote. Sometimes see it on a comment’s permalink page. Guessing some karma factors at play (lifetime upvotes received per user, can’t downvote more senior users maybe)
- bravetraveler 4mo ago> Downvotes may offer that function too, I think. Not quite as effectively, but sure. De-ranked consumption of vertical space instead of complete compression. Anyway, many tools one may choose. Not mutually exclusive or expensive. > Guess I better read the rules I'm sure someone will link them for us [again, vertical space!]. You're fine, however. Not super familiar with the heuristics, but I do know... downvoting gets blocked once you reply, do it first.
