HN and Reddit (obviously depends on a subreddit) are drastically different communities than LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook. I might downvote on HN or Reddit if something is spammy or blatantly doesn't bring any value to the conversation

Screen-zombie pedestrians annoy me as well. So do uneven pavements, trash, rocks and any other obstacles that appear on my way. If I'm on an electric scooter or a bike though it's my responsibility to ensure that I'm not ridi

I quite like this and my experience on your 3D website was very smooth. I wonder about the following points: - Would creating a 3D website hurt my SEO? - Would the content be somehow accessible for users who are entering the website on devi
