Thanks, I've been looking for a way to swipe right on your wife.
- growt 1y agoI also choose this guys wife!
- omk 1y agoThis why I love reddit. Oh wait!
- Razengan 1y agoPlease don't Reddit HN. We serious here
- khazhoux 1y agoThank you. I come to hacker news for serious discussions about apps that just show your spouse and you can only swipe right
- gpderetta 1y agoWe have plenty of unserious discussions on HN. We just try to avoid reddit-like memeing.
- arghwhat 1y agoHN: All of the negativity and toxicity of a Reddit discussion, without having to get disturbed by something as unproductive as smiling or a laughing! In all seriousness, the average HN comment thread feel a lot less pleasant than the average Reddit thread. Granted, Reddit has way worse places, but comparing HN to all of Reddit is illogical - HN compares more to a single (large/active) subreddit.
- mettamage 1y ago> In all seriousness, the average HN comment thread feel a lot less pleasant than the average Reddit thread. I disagree strongly actually. HN'ers to me make sense, in many ways. Redditors are a crap shoot. I go in with the HN mindset on Reddit and it's 50% reasonable and 50% "what the hell am I reading?" HN is 95% reasonable. I understand that to some it's an acquired taste but it was home to me from the moment I discovered it. I don't mind the Reddit-esque comments here. It's on brand for the topic. I get that when someone has a more serious disposition in life, that this topic would feel a bit grating. > HN compares more to a single (large/active) subreddit. Yea, agreed.
- gchamonlive 1y agoHN is indeed one of the few places in the web that I think maintains a more community-like platform and it's a home for me too. However I think how reasonable is the general ethos depends on the topic. It goes without saying that tech is it's strong suit, so the 95% figure (which I read as "the vast majority") is reasonable. For other topics like social problems, civil liberties and personal responsibilities is way less reasonable than that, I'd say half-half... I have fun with a friend of mine sharing ridiculous comments on such topics and there is no shortage of those. I have to give props to the moderation though. More often than not, these comments are flagged and die really quick. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44531605 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44531605 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44258152 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44258152 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43841812 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43841812 The list goes on...
- 1234letshaveatw 1y agoHN is more akin to a college forum- demographics skew more towards professional adults. I prefer it more as well
- arghwhat 1y agoThe part of Reddit I go to is roughly equal parts memes, serious discussions and derailed threads. Here I feel like I just lost the first part, so 50/50 between serious discussions and derailed threads. Either is moderated to be without anything eye-gouging (again, comparing HN to specific subreddits that would carry similar content, and not reddit as a whole). Sure, some individuals might prefer things this way, but it's definitely not objectively better as the general attitude towards reddit and against any humor seems to suggest.
- gchamonlive 1y agoSeriously though...
- abcd_f 1y agoDon't forget to add /s after every joke though. This is mandatory.
- khazhoux 1y agoThe app itself was a meme!
- stavros 1y agoWait until you see OP's next app, it's only photos of your mother and I can only swipe left.

- jamwil 1y agoUuuuuuuugh fine
- samrus 1y agoThis is obviously the designated fun thread
- uncircle 1y agoAh yes, the same comment chain memes one can find at the top of every single goddamned thread on reddit. So much fun.
- mfro 1y agoI've never seen somebody get downvoted so hard on HN I can barely read their text. Congrats.
- uncircle 1y agoGo into your profile settings, and enable "showdead". Very controversial comments get censored^Whidden so that's why you don't see them. Mine's a measly -4 points for saying Reddit is terribly unfunny. I'll be fine.
- samrus 1y agoMaybe the designated fun thread isnt a good fit for you
- dotancohen 1y agoAs much as I agree with you (and upvoted your comment on principle), an infrequent well-placed well-timed joke can be tolerated. This was that joke. I've certainly taken my own chances with Monty Python quotes in the HN comments.

- develop7 1y agoAnd my axe!
- codeTired 1y agoReddit is leaking.
- ranguna 1y agoIt is, but the original post itself is also pretty funny. So it fits quite nicely
