A comment on YC, a social media platform formed by a venture capital organization, and a comment saying “motivated by profit” gets downvoted.
- uoaei 2y agoAlmost as if communities are neither monoliths nor hiveminds!
- refurb 2y agoThat's not really relevant to my point?
- uoaei 2y agoYour entire comment is based on that premise. If you gave folks the benefit of "not aligning with the majoritarian or stereotypical opinion" you wouldn't feel the way that you've expressed.
- refurb 2y agoMy argument is not based on that premise at all. It's the idea that a comment that supports the basic foundation of the organization who run this board gets so severely downvoted. I'm justing calling out how ironic it is.
- uoaei 2y agoAnd that happens because different people are different and vote differently. No one is obligated to conform to your stereotypes.
- systemvoltage 2y agoThis whole place has been captured ideologically. HN has fallen so hard, even its leaders can't post here.
