I went to check if this was documented in the list of undocumented HN features on GitHub but it’s not.

There is an open PR (by simonw btw): https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/pull/4...

    > classic HackerNews title shortening algorithm
Woah, this is a wild claim. @dang: Is this a thing? I don't believe it. I, myself, have submitted many articles and never once did I see some auto-magical "title shortening algorithm" at work!

It's been confirmed by @dang many times before. I'm not sure if that's what cut the title here but I've seen it many times in the last 10 years.

I've seen it happen a couple times, iirc, it removes things after commas, and removes certain words as well
