Saying something is interesting is not adding any value. It’s obvious that all this is very interesting, indeed.

- Epokhe 6y agoIt’s also interesting that you’re so worried by this comment. I found some value in the original comment because it highlighted a software company is doing it. Just relax.
- systemvoltage 6y agoI’m not worried, I’m expressing how ridiculously afraid people are to take a side because hey, it’s kind of a polarizing and controversial topic. Tell us what you think! In some ways, it’s self-censorship so one doesn’t get downvotes. I think I find anyone telling someone to relax a bit condescending, but I’m gonna assume good faith that you’re not meaning it.
- Epokhe 6y agoSorry if that came across that way. I just found your first reply unnecessary. I think each take is useful, no matter how opinionated they are. I understand your point though, I also wouldn't want every comment in the thread being neutral. Knowing HN, I think we're doing fine :)
- systemvoltage 6y agoAll good.
- aprdm 6y agoThinking that you have to Take a Side is IMO a false dichotomy. There is a whole specter of opinions. Between "I support what facebook did" and "I do not support what facebook did", or "I support Trump" vs "I hate Trump". if I were to take a side right now I would not be able to. Regardless I find it interesting, much of the discussion I've heard in the last 24h is very interesting to me. FWIW I am not American nor do I live in the USA.
- systemvoltage 6y agoI should perhaps expand and sort of agree with you: You don't need to take sides. Just expand more on your stance as neutral than just saying "It's interesting". I expect more from HN comments I guess.
