then why did it get so many comments?

you seem to be protecting people from discussing what they want to discuss

in addition, I wrote 2 first comments asking people to focus on a deeper conversation

and my focus was both in my forcefully changed title and in my first article-like comment that what is actually happening is attacking web capabilities

the first 2 comments were mine, an article and an ask towards the community to discuss things on a higher level (tech, legal) and forget these emotional outbursts that I hate pwa and I just dont want you to install another browser and that oh I love my walled garden because peopel just can use Safari with its protections

even if my thread was also flooded with not too deep comments, I think shadow banning was uncalled for!

nobody changed the misleading title here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39386569

dma did not kill anything whereas my title true: I am pissed, Apple is after web capabilities to protect close-to-100B tax revenue

A submission getting comments isn't automatically a sign that it should be on the frontpage. Anything controversial or outrageous is likely to get a lot of comments any time it makes the frontpage. The really insidious part is that unlike the really interesting submissions which are one offs, these topics are being fed by a news cycle and a content treadmill, with a steady stream of new articles mostly rehashing the same information. So they tend to crowd

To use this article as an example, you say you want to see a higher level discussion about the legal and technical aspects. A proper legal review of Apple's DMA position vs. the actual regulation text would definitely be fascinating to read and new information we haven't already seen multiple times. I'd totally upvote that. Maybe there's even a chance that such an article would lead to the higher level discussion you ask for. But it doesn't feel like that's at all what the article is? There's no analysis, just an assertion that this breaks the spirit and the letter of the law.

(I don't know anything about the various grivances you listed. I was just replying to agust since they were under the false impression that dupes were only for exact submissions of the same article.)

well I understand you and you are right

it was not my article btw, and it was the same practically as others

this higher level thing was a flop too, the discussion went on under other comments :)

my take is I have to right my first blog post somewhere if I have some time to analyze the issue

and then come back here and post it

the problem is I do not have time for this and Gemini hallucinates like hell so I cannot really work with a 66 page legal pdf efficiently :)

and I am not a gecko or chromium engineer or a lawyer so I actually lack the specific knowledge
