This is a nicer way to approach something I've seen lately, but haven't had a good area to mention - for fear of being part of the problem.
We like to think of HN as a place for wonder and decent conversation. Yet, I see a lot of policing of comments.
Someone posts something trolling, someone replies 'you should post something useful'... while contributing to the noise. Perhaps I'm pessimistic seeing it as for nothing. Maybe the 1/N times this works is worth it.
Long way to say: if you see something like this, just vote/move along

- bravetraveler 3y agoThank you! More annoying, but I really want to kind of stress distracting. We have so much stuff in a day I acknowledge there's a bit of... irony (or something) in my critique. In a way it's yet another way to police comments - but hey! Democracy, I guess.
