i'm here to learn about new cool things.
one of the things I think makes HN unique is that we can discuss things without "having to agree that the fabric of society is at risk of collapse." Whether it is or isn't, the teardown of a T1 router is cool.
I often feel the need to comment in ways that i hope remind others that not everybody agrees with their opinions. You can call it trolling, I hope to add information or at least amusement.
But mostly I enjoy the acquisition of new bits of (probably not immediately useful, but new to me) technical knowledge from others who share the same joy.

If you are saying that HN discussion mostly steers clear of U.S. culture-war drama, I think I agree and appreciate that. I hadn't really thought of it, until you posted it. Kudos. I used to go to Twitter to get some of the same technology thought exposure, but the usefulness / drama ratio seems to have decreased dramatically since I was there last (but I realize that might just be who I follow).
- the_only_law 4y agoYeah now if only I saw more articles about T1 routers and less crypto currency fights, disingenuous political threads and arrogance in ignorance.
