Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

yep! any mastodon post whose first line looks like a subject line and which tags the community is treated by Lemmy as a new thread in that community. now, you might think that’s an awful mechanism in that it’s very hard to get right on purpose but very easy to accidentally activate if you’re linking and properly citing an article in the format that’s most natural on mastodon. and you’d be correct!
no problem at all! I don’t think the duplicate’s too much of an issue, and this way the article gets more circulation on both Mastodon and Lemmy.
Ah, I guess it just really do be like that sometimes!
@swlabr right, I was confused by your reply!
I did find it on that thread, hence the *via*, (although a direct link would have been better) but decided to make a new post with an excerpt.
