We need an HN-like website without a downvote button. Community commentary around STEM-related subject matter.

Yes this is what 4chan is about since the early days. It’s an outlet for youth to explore edgy memes and dark humour in the confines of the internet. You’d find transphobia and crude racist remarks all the way back on 90s Internet, and you

That's been a staple of HN for the last decade as well. >"Why C#, why not Go?" >Proceeds to write some half-assed impl. as an HN comment.

I'm not going to bother refuting this. Like I said, it's an unpopular opinion. You're welcome to think whatever you like, including that I said anyone lied.

Unpopular opinion: I hold /pol/ and rest of 4chan in higher regard than most of the internet precisely because the lack of filtering allows a lot of quality content to come through that would otherwise be silenced, and it's o

I like how some comments are painting a rise in wealth in these areas as somehow bad, but are hiding it behind the term “gentrification” and doing cartwheels to make sure the areas stay in poverty but somehow better than before. I’ll leave

It isn't, and in due time enough people will get tired of this and form some kind of an HN-meets-lobste.rs-thing that is more oriented towards diversity of opinions, with less of a fuck-you to everyone who disagrees with the groupthink

This is to be expected of HN. After awhile you stop caring about the flagging, downvotes, people feigning outrage and mods threatening to ban you because your commentary crossed over some thin “inflammatory comments” line they superimposed

I mean, we’ve been telling HN this was happening for the entirety of 2020 now but we just get downvoted and talked down to, so, I’m not sure what you’re expecting by finally being outraged about the whole thing. We aren’t expecting anyone o

Have Google Play Music, will be switching to Apple Music. The YT droning every time I fire it up is too much, and it seems like the migration doesn’t work either. Why do you do this to yourselves, google employees on HN?

To the op: People here (and, I wouldn't be surprised, elsewhere) are missing the point that I think you are trying to make. And partly as a result you're getting downvoted by the idiot brigade. To the rest of you: It's not so

Much like the HN thread that applauded FB getting rid of some thousands of accounts related to “right wingers”, QAnon, et cetera, I equally applaud this admirable move. I hope that FB, Twitter, Google, Cloudflare and others continue to bloc

I have been championing for the idea to flag and/or prohibit NYT articles from showing up on HN, because for quite some time now they do very little to advance the topics they discuss, and spend an awful amount of time baiting the indi

And downvoting comments to be dead and flagging them just reinforces their message further. Keep it up HN. Maybe someday your moral superiority will finally shine through.

Back when the Kosovo thing was unfolding and the Muslims were making headways over there, the West was mum about the whole thing, vilifying the East, looking to slander Serbia and other countries who were aiding them. Now that the Chinese h

Thanks krapp. They sound like glorified shitposters that escaped the confines of /pol/. Are they really causing that much of an issue to FB and other platforms? FWIW I read the article, but it meanders a lot.

Can someone give us a rundown on who QAnon is/what they stand for? Is this a White Supremacist? Group? Individual?
