Message well received. This dynamic seems endemic, sadly. I’ve recently banned myself from just these interactions because like you say there’s a lottt of energy in the topics, and that energy can be toxic and highly appealing to many, including me. Breaking my ban probably didn’t help anyone, just got a bunch of folks wound up. I’m not sure HN really was any better 15 years ago, but in my mind it had higher quality discourse ca 2011. I still prefer it to any other online forum, but I find I’m more often than not frustrated engaging on anything but the least controversial of tech topics.
