Why are you here there?
Seriously curious. Promise not to criticize you or even respond to what you say.
- assbuttbuttass 11mo agoI share the same sentiment about the HN community, but there are still a lot of interesting articles posted here that are fun to read
- lapcat 11mo ago> Why are you here I agree with, uh, assbuttbuttass: "there are still a lot of interesting articles posted here". As for commenting, it's just a matter of too much time on my hands, temptation, and bad habit. > Promise not to criticize you or even respond to what you say. You can respond, anyway. ;-)
- AbstractH24 11mo ago> You can respond, anyway. ;-) Well, since you asked ;-) I'd agree with you, more or less. I don't find it horrendous necessarily. But I find the focus to be far more on the articles than the conversation. Most of my comments are just me screaming into the void. Its a different business model though, HN isn't trying to increase your session time as much as possible. I find the UI to actually discourage conversation and interaction.
- tekla 11mo agoIts a decent feed for articles. The culture is fucking terrible
- wpietri 11mo agoPersonally, I came here for the articles. And then like @tqbf, I discovered I had a debilitating case of "someone is wrong on the Internet" syndrome. I'm mostly better, but now I come back for the articles, and post because this is, whether I like it or not, a commons for a community that I'm part of. So occasionally I still get sucked in if only to providing a contrasting voice to some of the grossly unempathetic stuff I see here.
