So the original unfounded claim has 400+ comments because its perfect HN ragebait The author provides evidence to the contrary and the HNers won't even engage with it instead just talking about the writing of the article in classic HN bikeshedding fashion. How about after that we talk about the formatting of the website and the colors? This site is really going down hill Where is the accountability for your own opinions? Are you guys only upvoting things that confirm your existing gripes?

Comments like this do more of what they complain about, only with an extra layer of judgment. It would be preferable if someone would seed a better discussion by engaging with the article's claims/observations.

  Why did you the admin allow such ragebait to stay on the front page then? Is that the kind of low effort posts we want around here? Just a link to a github comment of a screenshot? You're complicit here in fueling the harassment of an open source project

    I don't have enough background info to understand what you're referring to here. Even if you're right, though, you shouldn't be posting comments that break the site guidelines.

How is that even allowed in the first place without getting flagged/removed? And every time that happens the project gets brigaded from HN users

        This ain’t a rant it’s literally a screenshot of a mastodon tweet posted on an issue page How does low effort rage-bait spark curiosity? The comment to upvote ratio clearly shows it’s inflammatory
