This thread is why he is not on Twitter

Fascinating, I'm not there for other reasons. So, about that costly Tea...

And I'm here wondering if there's a limit to HN's nested replies.

I'll continue to do my part as time allows, also curious. Anyway, if enough flag the top [like I did], it'll collapse.

Every so often, ask others just how far their ideas go.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Observe, etc.

You found a comment to flag in this thread? Didn’t catch rulebreaking myself.

Sure, I didn't restrict to rule breaking. As I already said, it serves the function of compressing the conversation others complained about.

Downvotes 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)

> 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.
