its bleeding on to HN as well. Just take a look at my comments that criticize their conspiracy theory.
They seem to monitor this threads on HN and downvote anything that doesn't fit their HF "deep state" narrative.
OR its likely that "smart" HN users bought into the hype and they are fully bought into the narrative that blames external factors than their own due diligence.
I suggest you start to treat the hn community a little less defiantly: to me your attitude seems contemptuous and condescending. If you humbly listen to downvotes then perhaps you will start to see good reasons for reader’s reactions to your comments.
I skimmed your comment history. Many of your comments are creating narrative from thin air - no different from the worst Qanon offender where there might be some fact but your spin is not. Tying in political arguments (like I just did) is also poor form IMHO. Many of your comments mention downvoting, which is a seriously bad smell to me. At the level of an individual comment, mentioning voting is usually an automatic downvote from me, and I presume others. Relevant HN guidelines: “Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.”, “Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.”
Edit: I am not saying your comments lack truth, I am just saying that it matters how you write it down.
Same here. I used to love talking shit on WSB. Unfortunately that can’t happen anymore since the culture has changed completely.
Long time members know just how awesome that community was, and I think it’ll never be the same.
