Thank you. I hope HN starts autodeading posts from Mastodon and other social media as most of the time it is just random people giving short, unhumorous commentary on a screenshot; they're the YouTube reaction videos of Hacker News.
I suggest you try this: click on the gamedev.place link and see the past posts from there. They're good.
I just shared what I found. I don't know why Mastodon comments would be less interesting that reddit comments.

Thanks! We don't want a post about a post. We want the fully-resolved canonical post.
It's not just that it's Mastodon comments, it's that it's Mastodon thread discussing a Reddit thread.
