As a rule of thumb it is good to bury posts that are duplicative so the front page isn't devoted entirely to a single subject. However, it does seem like a conflict of interest given YCs involvement in reddit.
- dang 11y agoHN has had an abundance of major threads about Reddit recently. Two from the last couple days alone: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9884949 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9884949 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9880424 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9880424 We take conflict of interest questions seriously, enough that it trumps other concerns overall, but not at the level of every single individual post. I can understand people disagreeing with this particular call—indeed, if enough people disagreed we'd happily reverse it; we're not attached to any particular decision—but no one paying attention to HN is going to think that we're banishing the Reddit saga or anything like that.
