Comment on Ask HN: Why doesn't HN ask to confirm hiding posts?parent

Comments

I know about that, but it's usually a good UX practice to ask users for confirmation when they try performing destructive actions.

An analogy would be pressing delete on a file in your OS of choice, you can see the deleted file in the trash bin, but before it's moved there you'll be prompted for confirmation anyways (or in more modern OSes a notification/toast shows to let you indo the action if performed by accident)
