Slurs like "chronically mid" don't belong on HN.
- low_common 3y agoDude stop gatekeeping what people can say on here and go find something better to do with your day.
- Etheryte 3y agoI hope the irony is not lost on you that you're telling someone to stop telling other people what to say.
- cactusplant7374 3y agoDoes that mean that first amendment is ironic because it allows one to speak and criticize the right to speak?
- cactusplant7374 3y agoMost of the comments on Reddit would be downvoted or deleted on HN. Most comments are just not that useful or interesting.
- Buttons840 3y agoSince you gave me an excuse, I'll explain why I'm offended at the slur. The comment says: > This is a boring legacy tech company who’s best selling point is being a discussion forum for the chronically mid. This insult isn't about the comments on Reddit, it's about the people on Reddit. "Chronically mid" means that the people are average and will always be average. The comment is arguing that Reddit is low-value and part of their argument is that the people using Reddit are low-value "chronically mid" people. Everyone can judge for themselves whether downplaying the value of millions of people is offensive or not.
