You've been pretty busy moderating the past few hours I imagine, I hope it doesn't wear you out or make you think about quitting. I guess one can be glad I no longer moderate any discussion forums: if I was the moderator, this whole submission would be nuked well before it got to even 100 totally useless comments, for my own benefit and desire of laziness and for the health of the community. Well, I flagged, but I felt like bringing it up more directly on an already unlinked thread for the off chance when things quiet down you can link me to (if you've written one) a reason why HN governance sees fit to very frequently ignore what I find the key guideline to HN off-topic: "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
- dang 10y agoAs pg once put it, "Note those words most and probably". (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4922426 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4922426) This is an obviously historic event, it's worth discussing if we can keep the discussion from becoming too vitriolic, and experience has shown that when something like this happens, there's no keeping it off HN anyhow. I just hope the discussion doesn't degrade too hopelessly over the next few hours, because it's too late to keep doing this over here.
