Woah, that hashtag is really interesting. I wonder if the concentration of HN, and the tendancy to be identifiable led to something like that. Though Slashdot was around for much longer, Reddit too, and their communities dwarf HN there isn't something similar.

Its the most worthless type of internet activism, people unwilling or unable to submit to rational debate about an issue, either because they are too lazy or the issue is too emotive, so they resort to factionalism.
