Criticism given by those that do not align with the core goals/userbase of a project is not constructive. Giving criticism on something you don't intend to/woul

  I disagree, there's always the chance that there is a nugget of useful knowledge in there. I'd rather go through 100s of criticisms than miss it.

    For some perspective, this HN thread is much, much better than the Reddit post from yesterday. Sure, there were a couple of good points hidden in the rubble, but lordy it was bad. Cruel, even. The main author has taken a break (and fair enough) so you probably won't see them around today.

    I think this post is pure grandstanding. Giving good feedback is hard, and almost no one knows how to do it. Now, combine that with someone that has no skin in the game and is sometimes posting in-bad-faith, you're just creating a sea of garbage to wade through. To then say "yeah but I'd do it because _maybe_ I'd get something useful" is silly. No you wouldn't. You'd create a legitimized channel (Slack, Discord, email list) for people that are _actually interested_ and then talk to them directly. Posts like this are mostly just to put content in front of eyes that _would_ join such a legitimized channel. Message boards are message boards. You can't take them seriously, including this one.
