- smt88 6y agoI think that on technical issues, HN has great discussions that far exceed any other place. On social issues, threads tend to get brigaded, people talk past each other, and generally nothing new/constructive is added. I think this site specifically attracts people who are not deeply knowledgeable about (or interested in) the nuances of social issues, and the consequence is that the discussions are poor. I don't think that's a bad thing. You can have great, substantive discussions elsewhere. It would be nice (and consistent with HN guidelines) to have a place that isn't an incessant culture war.
- anthony_d 6y agoI completely fail to see this mindset. What is it that makes people with tech related jobs feel like they're superior to others?
