Maybe people don't find your humour funny. Maybe people don't think your humorous comment adds anything to the discussion. Maybe people don't want HN to turn into Slashdot.
- bitops 15y agoSee, this where I think you can have humor without it going down the Slashdot rabbit hole. Also, humor is subjective and what some people find funny, others won't. It seems to me that slapping down certain types of humor is encouraging another kind of uptight groupthink where we're always serious all the time. Because we are sophisticated hackers who are oh-so-sincere about everything. Gotta get a little rambunctious now and again, don't you think? To me the old spirit of programming has a good amount of humor in it.
