Honestly, I felt that way for a day or a week maybe, but
1. I got off Reddit
2. I saw that that had changed my conversation style
3. I appreciated that I had matured in a way I could notice, without it having to be pointed out to me, or rewarded with upvotes
- lmm 8y agoHave you tried leaving modern-day HN? It might have the same effect. (I'm not denying that today's Reddit is quite different from HN if that's what you're trying to say)
- s-shellfish 8y agoI have work and my family besides HN. I'm a software developer, and I study a lot of computer science and mathematics for fun. Things get weirdly mathematical in an information flow sense when you close your communication bubble too tightly. So yes, I have left HN multiple times. I find reasons to come back to it, I find reasons to appreciate it.
