Maybe. But it (at least) feels like HN sets some different expectations upfront (e.g. not being able to edit a post after a certain amount of time).
HN also has a pretty benign sign up process (i.e. relative to most sites, you don’t really give out any infomation, you don’t even _have_ to confirm an email).
I think people feel differently towards HN because HN treats people differently. (Just my 2 cents)
- pacala 7y agoFWIW, reddit doesn't require to confirm an email, though it employs a plethora of dark patterns to make you believe you have to.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoYeah it's pretty crappy, but it's not a plethora, you just don't put anything in the "email" text box and click <next>, that's not really a plethora.
