- aerovistae 5y agoFair enough. I do already know that rule, honestly, I'm a long-time user and I've seen others fall into the trap of that thinking many times. It just happened to occur to me with this thread.
- naoqj 5y agoHe didn't say that hn is turning into reddit, he ist talking about this particular thread, and at the moment that he had posted the comment, I would have agreed with him.
- thehappypm 5y agoI agree as well. This particular thread oozes the classic eat-the-rich trope that dominates Reddit and doesn’t match the culture here.
- maccolgan 5y agoCan't an illusion come true though?
