I find the fact that you got downvoted and the subdued scorn of some of the replies you got quite "amusing".

  Gatekeeping loneliness is hardly constructive. Suggesting people start by solving larger problems before smaller ones is equally not constructive. Why focus on loneliness at all when you can tackle climate change instead?

    Your idea of constructive leaves a bit to be desired.

      How is it not constructive to point out that the original comment is simply whataboutism? Just because another problem exists doesn't mean it is pointless to work on a related problem. Otherwise, one could easily make the point that climate change is a bigger problem than social isolation for older people, so any group attempting to alleviate that problem is wasting their time.

  Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here. Also, posturing over the rest of the community isn't helpful. If you know more, share some of what you know so the rest of us can learn from you. Also, please note that the site guidelines ask: "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    Sorry dang, felt some annoying 20-something entitlement in those comments and the grayness that, maybe, wasn't there.

      I know the feeling (of feeling something in the comments that maybe isn't there).
