Alternative headline: "Hacker News on Hacker News: Hacker News is great!"
Yes, it occurred to me that this might get voted up for the wrong reasons. And, yes, that's probably what's happening now, and I dutifully feel like a karma whore. I thought about it overnight, and that didn't feel like a good reason to censor myself in general. If you disagree, perhaps downvote here as a counterbalance.
- TomOfTTB 17y agoMany anthropologists believe great cultures begin to fail when they forget what made them great in the first place. It might be a little far-fetched to call hacker news a culture in and of itself but there is no doubt the site has its own specific personality. By the same rule I don't see the harm in you pointing out what makes the site's personality appealing. In fact I think it does a service and that it reminds us all what makes the site great in the first place.
