What is with these asterisk posts recently? have I missed a memo


What are you on about?


Occasionally a post will show up that is just three asterisks: "* * *". I assume it's some bug in the HN software.

Edit: I just tried opening this reply itself in a private window, and it shows up as three asterisks. I presume it's some kind of placeholder for posts that have not been cached/processed somehow

Edit 2: Now it loads properly, 3 minutes later.


Go to your profile and set "Show Dead?" to "Yes". People I think are just tired of hearing about the chatGPT stuff, which I definitely get.


I've had showdead on for years, as I don't always agree with the 'moderation'/groupthink


It's posts from people who have a delay set, I believe.
