Would be nice to see the same sort of aggressive policing in Brave posts, that are constantly rife with attacks and misinformation.
Aside from that, in this case its pretty obvious you're letting yourself be used as a suppression vehicle by FOSS crazies ramming the flag button. Would have been nice to see a more neutral action being taken instead of choosing a side.
- pvg 3y agoYour comment was completely unrelated to the Show HN - a place for people to discuss and receive feedback on their work. No side-choosing needed here other than that of the original author and the people who want to talk about the thing being showhn.
- jorvi 3y agoWebHID is related, especially because usually on every single post involving WebHID you’ll have people bringing up how it’s not a real standard. That also segues into something I’ve mentioned before: moderation needs to be consistent. Randomly picking when to pull the trigger and when not is a bunch of crap.
- pvg 3y agoWebHID is related Everything is related to everything somehow. You can't start dumb flamewars on HN and it's especially bad form to start them in people's Show HN, that's all.
- jorvi 3y agoCan you point me to said flamewar?
- pvg 3y agoSure. The flamewar is this thread. And it starts with things like "you’ll see Firefox diehards froth at the mouth" which is not an invitation to curious conversation (the aspirational goal of the site) but a call for other flamewarriors to come out and play. You can't talk to people or really about most people like that on HN, which I'm sure you've seen in the guidelines. Same goes for the grumpsneer edit you tacked on after getting downvoted and flagged.
