Make humor legal again on HN for a start?
And either ban "this is offensive" comments or politics altogether.
- dang 4y agoHumor has always been "legal" on HN! But it's a tricky business because most people vastly overestimate how funny their jokes are. I always refer to scott_s about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289. Re politics: it's not possible to ban that altogether, nor would it fit HN's mandate of intellectual curiosity to do so. For past explanations see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=political%20overlap%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so.... If there are questions I haven't answered there, I'd be happy to answer them.
