- dang 2y agoThis comment, along with your comment upthread, is a good example of what we don't want on HN. It's a snarky internet putdown with no information and certainly no curiosity in it. There are other places on the internet to post like this; please don't post like this here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- Nullabillity 2y agoI get that YC has hitched its wagon to this particular dead horse, but please take a moment to reflect before letting it kill HN too.
- wizzwizz4 2y agoDang's taken more moments to reflect on this topic than you or I probably ever will, and for all the myriad accusations, I have yet to see an example of dang's public actions being influenced by anything YC's doing. HN moderation hasn't changed: HN activity has changed, and that's more to do with seemingly-everyone outside YC hitching their wagon to it.
