Dang, I appreciate that moderation is used sparingly and your resources are always stretched, my appologies.
These articles slagging off web3 / crypto are appearing front page every 2-3 days at the moment and the comments section always becomes a shitshow. In a recent comment section for ~140 comments there were over 30 mentions of "ponzi"
WRT to my comment, yes agreed it breaks the rules and probably could have gone unspoken. But it is born of frustraition in seeing AWS being touted by people that haven't either bothered to understand the technology but want to fling mud.
This constant echo chamber HN is engaging in is making it less of a place for discussing intellectual ideas and more about pushing viewpoints.
Once again, appologies for lowering the bar.
- dang 5y agoI know the internet (including HN) supplies endless frustration, but just because of that, we all need to cultivate the skill of not responding from a triggered place. Comments like the GP and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29525651 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29525651 definitely just make things worse. Put another way: users here need to follow the rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) regardless of what other people are doing. It always feels like the others both (a) started it, and (b) did worse—that's just baked in to human perception—so we can't use that as a basis for commenting. If we do, a downward spiral is the guaranteed result (https://hn.algolia.com/?query=downward%20spiral%20by:dang&dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=downward%20spiral%20by:dang&da...).
