Hacker News Reader

It's really tiring; political comments on here have become reddit-level.

There is literally a guideline specifically about this.

> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit.

Huh, well regarding the snide political remarks that always follow mention of certain countries (i.e., non-Western) it has. Maybe we need a new guideline for that.

I mean, can we just chat about the technical aspects of Neom or MateBooks or whatever without all the political stuff? There's other communities for that.

So, don't say anything demeaning about China or the CCP unless you write at least two (for now anyway...) paragraphs?

Sounds like a reasonably good idea. 500 social credits for you.

There is literary a guideline specifically about the top comment:

> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Or how about:

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity.

Perfect, thanks for pointing that out!
