I don't really hate anything about HN.
In terms of the community, I would like to see more people recognize fake leading questions that are answered by alt accounts promoting some product. Those don't get flagged fast enough.
I am also not a fan of news site reporters challenging anything that doesn't have several references to back it up. It takes away from discussions and becomes an academic research article. In my experience, links do not equate to facts. They are just more opinions on some other site.
- wil421 8y agoLeading questions and/or alt accounts are my biggest gripes right now. I called out an account for being a Facebook employee or something the other day. They were literally copy pasting the same response over and over. It was a paragraph from some Facebook documentation. Another alt account suggested I should be banned for calling out the other user.
- LinuxBender 8y agoProbably best to just flag it or send an email to HN. It's easy to spot people doing it, but we should have proof if we are calling someone out by name.
