- moistly 4y agoIt’d be fine if the threads were centrist. The problem is with the lying, the FUD, the statements than run absolutely counter to factual truth. HN is going to be harmed by the people who do this, because they are going to go do the same thing in other threads. The quality of discourse on HN is going to suffer greatly.
