I don't think HN hates humour, but I personally don't like humour that doesn't add anything extra to the conversation. The current pattern I have noticed a lot goes like this: > Topic: Service X just launched > Comment: LOL I just read X as Y, and was imagining Z as a far-fetched consequence Sometimes the commenter doesn't even imagine a Z and just explains a brief moment of confusion instead. Versus a more concrete example of something I enjoyed recently: > Topic: I wish there was an unstable AWS region to test the resiliency of my app > Comment: They have one already, it's called us-east-1. That wasn't hated (as I saw it) or even necessarily off-topic.
