- ExactoKnight 10y agoAs hacker news becomes more popular it becomes more like reddit :(
- lorenzhs 10y ago"If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a common semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- nstj 10y agoHilarious - I'd never seen that before! Another interesting tidbit[0]: > Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its 'flag' link. If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'flag' at the top. (Not all users see flag links; there's a small karma threshold.) [0]: Ibid.
- DonHopkins 10y agoThere is one exception: If your account is exactly one year old, and a little cake icon appears next to your name, then are you allowed to submit exactly one comment saying that HN is turning into Reddit.
- some1else 10y agoI think the logic used to go "Don't comment if you don't have anything to add to the discussion". So people downvote comments that should have just been upvotes in the first place.
