> The reason for the poor view of the NH community (outside NH) is clear from the opinions expressed here.

Where does HN have a poor reputation? Whenever I've seen it mentioned, its either been by other users of the site or people who generally view it favorably (largely due to the post quality).

The only place I've come across that has a particular disdain for it is /g/, but they hate everyone so thats to be expected.

View on HN

Basically outside this mosh pit, there are many smaller communities scattered about the internet and social circles. They all refer to HN as "the orange site" to avoid naming it, and it's usually always about something in disdain.

The great thing about any community is that you have free speech, but don't be surprised if your opinion is challenged.

I enjoy both HN and other community sites, both are great ways to communicate.

I don't get this us vs them mentality, but perhaps that is an American thing. Whatever it is, it is silly.

So small echo chambers whose opinions don't matter and whose relevance is unnameable don't like this site? I'm so depressed. I hope their 3 friends on Mastodon don't get upset.
