Ask HN: Can we please stop with the posts about Claude outages?

4 pointsromanhn7d ago4 comments

Yes, I get it, you're impacted and it sucks. But given how frequently it occurs, these posts are starting to feel very spam-like. HN is not your favorite tool's status page, and in fact Claude has one already (even if it doesn't update as immediately as you'd like). I much prefer interesting discussions under Ask HN than yet another status question with a chorus of me-toos. And yes, I recognize this meta-rant might be one as well. Thank you!

Flag them when you see them on the new page.

There are 30 possible submissions on the front page at any given time. The existence of one you'd prefer not the read does not cannibalize them.

You can see there are plenty of Ask HNs in the dedicated tab: https://news.ycombinator.com/ask

I hear what you're saying, but currently 4 out of 29 Ask HN submissions I see have to do with Claude outages. A 14% ratio feels high. But yeah, I'm tilting at windmills here, flagging and moving on is the right strategy.

Stop reading them?

You click each time and read the chorus of me-toos?
