Seconded. They pushed work chat pretty hard... Given what the CEO letter mentioned about product focus, I wonder if it's the employees that worked on that that are being let go

Someone else[1] just posted this parody of HN discussions: http://bradconte.com/files/misc/HackerNewsParodyThread/ Besides being funny, it's that "long detailed, objective explanation" comment

Your melodramatic announcement of no longer participating in HN discussions directly contradicts your desire for reason to prevail over sensationalism.
