I agree with you, but the people on HN much nicer then on other forums.
Its hard when you've worked on something and then your post gets trolled to death by a 12 yr old who has a strong opinion.
As much as I hate how direct they are, the comments are often true. I just wished the criticisms were more constructive at times.
- sillysaurus 13y agothe people on HN much nicer then on other forums. That's a common belief, but I've noticed that Reddit has recently been giving higher-quality comments than HN. Take a look: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5745707 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5745707 vs http://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/1es4pf/soylent_the_powdered_healthy_food_substitute_just/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/1es4pf/soylent_t... The Reddit comments are either positive, or they're skeptical in a way that doesn't try to force their opinion on you. They say things like "Hey, I noticed no one at Soylent seems to have a background in nutrition" rather than "I beg you, don't fund these guys! What they're doing is inherently dangerous." (The latter was actually a very common theme in the comments here about Soylent.)
- kybernetyk 13y agoReddit != reddit. You are comparing a pretty small focussed subreddit to the front page of HN. Actually there are a few subreddits I'm subscribed to where I expect more insightful comments than on HN.
