Since we have a norm that those who post unfunny jokes shouldn't complain they are downvoted, we should also have a norm that those who don't like jokes should just downvote without comment. Of course, I'm violating the obvious meta-norm...
- nuclearnice1 6y agoWe actually have the opposite norm. HN commenters are encouraged to post feedback in the threads about what's good and bad for HN comments. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7605973 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7605973
