Start a blog for your business. Create content that is true and positive about your business. You probably don't want to directly rebut the post in question as that could invoke the Streisand Effect, but point by point educate people about the facts.

- xupybd 6y agoI think you made the same mistake I did. They want HN to allow them to comment on a post here defaming their business. It looks like a HN post is causing all the trouble. No doubt Dang will come to the rescue.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoThis is the dang (aka Dan Gackle) in question that people keep mentioning: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dang https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dang That profile provides his contact email that no one seems to have listed in comments here. I don't know if dang can help with this. I don't have sufficient info. But he's the person to talk to to find out what can be done on HN.

- PEOPLEgetoff 6y agoYes it will takes time, but you might also increase your presence in social media because it is excellent in gaining audience.
- softwaredoug 6y agoAgree with this. If your business has enough other content and is building goodwill through other channels, then one hacker news post isn’t going to tank things.
