IMO, HackerNews has a few frills, mechanics-wise. Like the fact that
you can't downvote direct responses to your comments. Or how you can't
downvote at all until you get the right amount of karma. I also
consider the lack of notifications about new responses a feature, but
a lot of people will probably disagree.

- Jarwain 6y agoWell that's why down-voting requires a karma threshold before one can actually downvote
- The_rationalist 6y agoSadly it is easy to gain karma once your comments amplify an existing echo-chamber e.g pro mozilla/rust comments
