With every new thread about Twitter I lose more respect for this community. It is comment after comment of sneer, puerile insults, and caricaturally one-sided remarks.
- lapcat 4y agoSerious question: If you find them subpar, why do you keep reading the comments in threads about Twitter?
- ad404b8a372f2b9 4y agoBecause they come up on the front page multiple times a day and often the titles don't make it obvious they are related to Twitter, like this one or the other one from today "Spacekaren.sucks"
- pjc50 4y agoI don't think you're helping? Do you have anything to say that isn't also an insult?
- ad404b8a372f2b9 4y agoI don't think you can tell someone they're acting childish without being insulting, by definition, that doesn't mean it serves no purpose. One would hope that push back would lead to self-reflection. What else do you want me to say? Compare the threads about twitter to any other and the difference should be self-evident.
- dang 4y agoI agree that these threads have been appallingly bad* but the solution isn't to post more bad comments, it's to find things that do gratify your curiosity and comment on those. * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33992824 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33992824, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34020263 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34020263
