No offense but this whole thing seems like it's getting out of hand - do we really need another social network for people who've deleted their FB accounts? Kind of ironic if you ask me..
Yes, there is a little tongue-in-cheekiness to this. I don't think people will actually signup. But it's kind of a personal experiment in jumping on a trend and seeing what I can make of it.
I'm thinking about joining Facebook so that I can delete my account in protest
I think HN's progressed from privacy concerns to service complaints to plain dogpiling and reddit-style karma-whoring.
Man, karma-whoring is soooooo 2001, back when I was slashdotting :-) No, I have a real interest in seeing this project go forward - I thought HN would be interested...
