I noticed ChatGPT and others do exactly the same once you run out of anonymous usage. Insanely annoying.

Hn does that too. You've typed out a long response, oh sorry you're posting too fast. Please slow down.

It's intentionally hostile and inconsiderate.

  • Rule #1 when typing longer texts into webforms/textboxes: ALWAYS do a CTRL+C before you click submit.

  • At least on HN you can Go Back in your browser and restore the page before submission with your post in the box.

    But it would be _much_ better if when you hit reply, it gave you a message that you're "posting too fast" before you spend the time to write it up.

  • You don’t lose the message though, so it’s infinitely less annoying
