Quite useless post in my opinion. Since when are we told what to upvote and what to flag? Do we get a "please flag Microsoft posts" when there's the next big Microsoft event (example)?
If you can't handle a few bad jokes and lame stories, then stay of the news for a day and come back the next one, instead of getting emotional about it...
And there's no need to justify "guys" as "gender-inclusive". It's already known as such.
Can we now get back to the Hacker News without rules on what we have or don't have to do?

- dang 13y agoThis site has a culture. That culture is to focus on intellectual curiosity. It doesn't mean other things aren't also good; I personally love frivolous humor. But HN can't be all things. It needs a focus, and optimizing for one thing means trading away others, as in any engineering or design problem. The real agenda behind my post is that we want to get the community participating more in maintaining this culture. It's an experiment and it may not work, but I hope it does.
