Isn't it interesting in threads like these that no one ever seems to link to specific examples of their claims?

The commenter may not have quoted you the right rule, but their heart was in the right place. This thread is about building an HN clone, but you've taken it political.

You'll need to not want to do that if you want to continue participating on HN. Otherwise it's a matter of time.

You kind of did though. The website itself hasn't materially changed, so 'HN turning into Reddit' conversation isn't about the features of the application we're using here. It's always about some migration of 'undesirables' into the community.

To be honest, I find your foamy characterizations of the folks you're describing fairly toxic as well.
