This entire comment section seems to have gone down the drain to Reddit-tier exchanges. People giving their own false commentary on broad topics just for the sake of it without even trying to understand contexts, this is totally not expected on HN.
- pdimitar 4y agoSame was happening during the pandemic and it was much worse even.
- alephnerd 4y agoAgreed! I’ve complained about this before recently on HN and was flagged for this. Also, a lot of these accounts appear to be new accounts (less than 1 year tenure on HN), so most charitably they might be users who aren’t used to the norms on HN. On a separate note, Dang can you please moderate this entire section? The dog whistles and mean spirited comments on here are insane.
- the_doctah 4y agoIronically, "dog whistle" has become a dog whistle for censorship. At least you didn't hide the intent.
- rchaud 4y agoThe top comments as of 10:50AM ET are openly backing and rationalizing discriminatory hiring practices. Compare that to the reaction to IBM pushing out over-50s: empathy and compassion. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19507447 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19507447 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24471903 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24471903
