“Here's what a healthy online community has: respect for other members, maturity, empathy, self-awareness, strong moderation, and a diverse enough set of views from participants to make conversations well-rounded and thought provoking.”
These are all the reasons I love HN.
I don’t know of anywhere else that approaches it from those perspectives.
I’d sincerely love recommendations for more like it, tech-related or otherwise.
- shadowbanthrow 7y agoHold up, you really think the HN community is generally empathetic and self-aware? Like, you believed that while typing it? Do we read the same people?
- blast 7y agoI feel a lack of empathy in this comment, and, since empathy is the topic, a lack of self-awareness as well.
- shadowbanthrow 7y agoI'm sure that felt like a celebratory victory while typing it, but there is no small measure of hilarious irony in attempting to score points about who's displaying more empathy and self-awareness, and feeling satisfied pointing out a perceived lack of it where none was warranted. I asked for information hoping to expand on a position so far from reality that it's almost nonsensical. Asking that question more nicely is orthogonal to empathy.
