These comments are Twitter-reply level bad. “Be a man”, said unironically.
- squigz 3y agoUnfortunately it's pretty much what I expected going into this. I feel like the discourse here on HN has really devolved over the past few months...
- the_only_law 3y agoIt's been trending this way for a couple years at least, but yes its been particularly bad in the past few months. Feels infested with schizoposters and their the idiot reply guys and the 50 year old reactionary tech dweebs who suddenly things they're part of some sort of master race and spout undergrad tier philosophy knowledge to look smart.
- surgical_fire 3y agoI'm the last person that will defend HN. Outside of very narrow technical subjects, it is chock full of terrible takes, clearly written by fairly ignorant people that think very highly of themselves. This is especially prominent in topics that touch upon economics, politics or philosophy. That said, I don't really see passive aggressiveness as a problem. I mean, if people decide to be passive about their aggression, this gives me free pass to be passive about my disdain too.
