I’m never going to understand why HN frowns upon humor so much.

I’m never going to understand why HN frowns upon humor so much.
- dkjaudyeqooe 6y agoMe neither. I think the trick is to make it really, really dry and deadpan, then the humourless don't even notice and others have can have a little chuckle.
- vorpalhex 6y agoIt's offtopic.
- carapace 6y agoIf you don't quash quips it gets all redditty.
- tpush 6y agoHumor is fine. Humor as the only substance of a comment just wastes everyone's time.
- Semiapies 6y agoEspecially when this particular joke is never actually funny.
- gjm11 6y agoAs I have said before in response to similar comments: HN has no problem with humour. Where it differs from, say, typical reddits is that in order to get upvoted rather than dowvoted, humorous comments have to actually be funny.
