My recent sporadic comments history contains comments in weightlifting, cyber-truck, climate etc and other Chinese topics - which is a broad subject. I write more about those subjects because I'm more well versed in them. IMO, pointing typical poor reporting on Chinese subjects or disambiguate Chinese stories in geopolitical terms should not be an indicator of entrenched nationalism. Regardless, I've removed the original comment and will be steering away from Huawei related posts.
- dang 7y agoI'm not asking you to stop, just diversify, and to use the site more in the spirit of intellectual curiosity and less in the spirit of battle. Those two things don't go together at all. Your comments on weightlifting and other topics are pretty hard to find amid the others; I looked and missed them. I don't think it's fair for other users to accuse you of being a shill, astroturfer, spy, foreign agent, or other internet inanities, and have frequently asked them not to do so—and of course the HN guidelines make this quite clear also. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20astroturf https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
- audiometry 7y agoNo agenda here, but I saw this exchange as a chance to mess with the Hackernews API, "what is the percentage breakdown of dirtyid comment subjects?" (Just based on simplistic keyword search) Total Comments: 201 china: 139 (0.69) lifting: 16 (0.08) podcast: 9 (0.04) unknown: 37 (0.18)
- dirtyid 7y agoThat seems about right, the caveat is that I get much more engagement on topics pertaining China.
