Earlier quoted context omitted.

only on a mac, and probably only on safari which leaves the majority of people in the lurch.

I was trying to sarcastically imply that no such same-tab-enabling key existed, and that this was therefore a bad suggestion. (Didn't know it does exist on Safari either!)

oh, sorry, your suggestion wasn't unrealistic enough to not be believable so my sarcasm detector failed.

i took ___ to mean the option key which has this symbol made up of lines: "⌥", it is also the key most likely to be used for such a feature, so i figured that's what you must be talking about.

if you weren't then the key most certainly doesn't exist on a mac either, and i apologize for the downvote. unfortunately it appears that i can't undo it anymore so i hope someone else will compensate with an upvote.

No worries :)

And people who prefer the other way can just hold down _____ while clicking to open it in the current tab instead. Good ol' _____-clicking saves the day again!

The title is wrong as they are not just different in sourcing but topic.

A better title would be "Hacker News but for general content from independent blogs."

Hacker News but for independent blogs would be the same topic as HN but only stuff from independent blogs.

This is avowedly broad: "Hacker News and Lobste.rs have community voting figured out, but non-tech content gets drowned by the tech majority"

It's not stated explicitly, but I would assume that 'independent' blog means no Substack, no Medium, etc? Is that the case?

Independent does not mean self-hosted. Blog platforms are ok if the content is not monetized, no adverts, no paywalls, no self-marketing. For full criteria see the FAQs.

first thing that caught my eye was "Bubbles mentioned in Verge newsletter" .... that's a post from a "Hand-picked blog"? Thought it was supposed to be non-tech? Definitely don't want to see posts about tech posts from the sloppy tech duplicating press. We have HN for that!
