The comment was indeed about a matter of substance
Let's compromise and make sure all the weed jokes fall under the replies to my top level comment.
This creates noise. Regular users shouldn’t be commenting on the quality and usefulness of other people’s comments.
Oh wait..
Is denouncing that which is not your personal brand of humor a substantial addition?
It’s not about my brand of humor, any comment that is just a quip is unsubstantial and against community guidelines here. What exactly is the point of your comment other than to try and make us more like Reddit, the website HN was designed to not be.
The irony in complaining about the guidelines, while dismissing the very last item. Classic.
