Foone does cool things but clearly has high expectations for their own control of how crowds of people will discuss stuff that is, after all, out in public. Foone should maybe try a screened subscription-only paywall and see if that satisfies them more.
- scrollaway 5y agoI'm not sure what Foone is going on about. There isn't a single comment about the twitter format here except for someone linking to an unrolled version. It's just praise about their tweets and content, and shitting on fisher price for building a crappier product. Actually makes for a nice change for once. On-topic conversation!
- bb88 5y agoIt's pretty clear, just read Foone's twitter feed. He feels that HN "steals links" (their words). Google "OH FUCK ME I'M ON HACKER NEWS AGAIN" for the full twitter feed. They don't particularly like HN, for lots of reasons. JWZ feels the same way, which is why JWZ looks at the HTTP referrer for all links that were posted on HN and redirects those links to an image of a testicle.
- 1_player 5y agoWhenever I see a foone thread on HN, I scroll down looking for two things: people complaining about it being a twitter thread (he's got ADHD yadda yadda), and foone throwing a tantrum because he's made the HN frontpage yet again. The absolute predictability of these two events never fails to entertain me.
