This has been HN for years now. It’s a click farm with canned talking points.

  It's kinda sad, this place feels kinda like Slashdot, and not in a good way. :(

    As long as you can upvote/downvote/flag shit, you’ll get shit. The incentives aren’t aligned. That’s exactly why you’d have someone re-posting this stuff. People here aren’t old enough to remember when this happened on Digg, Nevermind Slashdot. Dang was in elementary school back then.

      Agreed. There's something flawed about the voting model that totally messes with people socially. It ends up replacing actual discourse with gamesmanship. I assume the green handle is because you're a mod. ~~Given that you seem to understand the design problems and limitations, do you feel like modding sites like these is more of a hassle than other platforms? Investigating antisocial shit seems more complex than just checking DMs and post history. Voting history is relevant, too.~~ Assumption wrong.
