What do you feel the ideal neutrality for this topic looks like on HN?
- fxtentacle 6y agoFor example, engaging epicureanideal's post with arguments showing his opinion to be wrong, instead of just hiding it with hundreds of downvotes. That post and its replies was like 90% of the discussion when I first checked, and now it's one light gray row at the bottom. As is, there isn't much of a discussing left in here.
- kubanczyk 6y agoHN guidelines say: Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That destroys the curiosity this site exists for. --- The "hundreds of downvotes" and how the UI reflects the downvotes are two facts of life. Indeed your initiative to change these facts is not interesting to me.
- fxtentacle 6y agoI was trying to comment about the lack of different opinions in the discussion. Because it's hardly a discussion if everyone agrees and/or if the people who don't agree are invisible.
- klyrs 6y agoSorry, but "hundreds of downvotes" isn't a thing. The moderation floor is -4.
