> I find that it makes conversations less aggressive

This is a really interesting perspective on it that I hadn't considered. I have long been annoyed by the lack of comment notifications but now that you put it that way I think you're right. This actually may be a feature of HN rather than a bug. Thanks for sharing that point.

This might be the most meta comment chain on HN.

This entire thread itself is pretty meta :)

This reply is quite clever, but at the current nesting level, nobody will notice.

No, mgiannopoulos[0], there is no limit on nesting replies that I'm aware of. I'm nesting another one now!

There is rate-limiting, though, which is probably what you hit. Wait a bit, and you can reply. Or click the "XX minutes ago", and I've found you can reply there.

Strange way for rate limiting, allowing replies on one comment but not another.

I got this far, may as well continue the nesting experiment.

Yeah, this is still at the top for me. Moving it along! I wonder how far it would have to go before it starts having problems. Or before apps start having problems. Doing this from my phone, and the comments are starting to get fairly difficult to read.

Well, I should at least help this scientific experiment...

I realized I commented with another account, so I guess I'll post again...

I noticed dreamcompiler! And apparently there is a limit to the nesting of replies (which is why i’m replying to the parent comment) ?!
