I see it's back online. I'd also remove the last sentence or reword "a bunch of tech nerds", that seems a bit stereotyping. HN is lacking many features. Reddit

HN is lacking many features. Reddit has direct messages between users (inbox etc), HN barely has voting and flagging. Some users do what you did here: submit another Ask HN. You can also email the moderators, contact link is in the footer.

- _9omd 5y agoThanks, and good call, I'll reword that sentence. I wasn't trying to be disparaging, as a fellow tech nerd myself, but it does seem potentially inflammatory and not representative of everyone here. Edit: Can't edit my other post, so I guess the sentence stands as is.
