Reddit one-liners is why I hate HN threads lately
- castis 9y ago
  I can understand your frustration but a downvote would have sufficed. If you hadn't seen the HN guidelines, take a gander when you get a spare moment. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Most notably this: > 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.

    My account is a several years old. HN is turning into Reddit. These one-liners really are a lot more common than they were even 2-3 years ago.

      I agree. If I wanted r/technology, I'd go to r/technology. Please, fellow users of HN, downvote jokes.

        I never have liked this "HN is serious business" mentality that treats minor humor as a negative to be excised. It makes the community seem very dour.
        lmm 9y ago
        I like dour. That mentality is one of the things that makes HN different from other communities, and one of the reasons I like HN more than those other communities; I'd rather HN retained this distinctiveness than reverting to the mean.

        I always thought it was the smart people, and interesting posts, rather than a lack of anything resembling a smile.

        I don't think they're so easy to disentangle.

        You sound like you wouldn't be much fun to hang out with at parties.

        I'm sorry, you are being downvoted for your reference to "parties". Please refer to the HN Discussion Code of Conduct, section 4 subsection 3(c.R) which states that Real Hackers do not participate in, discuss, or even acknowledge social gatherings known as "parties" except when discussing serious scientific reports centered around research into these social phenomena. This is your only warning.

    I've been on reddit for over 5 years and have only been on HN for about 8 months. HN is definitely completely different from reddit. I like the occasional joke or pun, but reddit takes it too far. The same tired jokes are repeated over and over and yet still get upvoted.
