As for the rest of your comment: if Duolingo works for you and your goals, OK. I still would never recommend it to anyone for learning any language and many people in this comment section (as well as on many language forums etc.) agree. People who have been around language learning communities have seen many, many people coming from Duolingo with a totally warped understanding of the language and essentially no progress. Maybe you're an exception or maybe the Hebrew course is particularly good, idk.

- Tainnor 4y ago> Get the fuck out of here with your gatekeeping bullshit. I object to the rude tone that you have displayed toward me and toward another commenter here. You seem awfully defensive, I've never written that you shouldn't be allowed to use whatever you prefer, just that I don't recommend doing so. If that's reason enough for you to tell somebody to "fuck off", then I don't see any further reason to engage with you.

- dang 4y agoYikes. You can't break HN's guidelines like this, regardless of how wrong other people are or you feel they are. We ban accounts that do. I'm not going to ban you for this because everyone goes on tilt sometimes and I didn't see other cases of it in your comment history—at least not the recent history which I skimmed. But if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
