Whatever you feelings may be, HN brings a breath of fresh air. Compared to other social media, its quite rare for commentary to devolve into nonsense.

  Another possibility, you are bad at detecting nonsense

    Possibly. Though I generally would not catch nonsense about an 40-year old Microprocessor or some newfangled K8s setup. So perhaps I should phrase the claim differently. The "quality" of nonsense on HN is remarkably better than other social sites.

    The problem with comments like this and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30088471 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30088471 is that they poison the ecosystem with more of the very thing you're complaining about, plus they lower the signal/noise ratio with tedious meta. Supercilious posturing over other people is bad for comments here because it's reliably uninteresting. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use the site more in the intended spirit? We're trying for curious conversation here.

      okay okay, I'll stop being so negative and try to guide discourse for the better here :)

        Appreciated! That's basically the perfect response :)
