> that people abuse HN for their own personal problems
Just the record, the person who wrote the issue (and is affected by the problem) and the person submitting to HN is not the same person. So I'm unsure how I could be claimed to use HN for my own personal problems, when I'm not the one with the issue here.
- colejohnson66 6y agoNot that you did, but it could be argued that because it’s Facebook (and we’re on HN), you were looking for something to post that’s negative about them because “fsck FB.”
- noxer 6y agoDoesn't really matter and there is no way to know if the HN poster is the affected person or not. What we know is that it creates an incentive for affected people to post future problems like that here if we keep giving these posts attention until they are resolved.
