To claim that Hacker News "is no different than 4chan", a site where one can routinely find the most vile posts of racism, violence, child pornography and so on is utter nonsense, and that is a fact, not merely my opinion.
I am equating the manner pf discourse and conversation flow.
Its rather disingenuous of you to think people are claiming racism violence and child pornography here.
Besides, 4channel is now heavily modded to be sfw since it has been acquired from moot and the owner is trying to drive ad revenue.
It isnt 2008 - and please again, stop passing opinion as fact chris granger. I expect greater from hn posters.
I get some solid content here, but to downvote on disagreement and then ignote2a genuine attempt to exchange ideas is discomforting to see.
I dont anticipate you to understand and i thoroughly expect this to simply be downvoted.
Any downvotes you've received were not from me.
