From the guidelines
Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did.
- throwaway72762 3y agoI agree with the guidelines, but they aren't working anymore. I can predict the tenor and content of the comments on half of the HN front page these days just from the title and domain, which means flagging isn't cutting it.
- version_five 3y agoThere is also a "hide" button. I assure you that right now there are countless internet fora where countless people are having discussions that for some subset any of us would find horrible. Better just to not engage with what you don't like.
