"I've had it with social media sites. I thought HN could be a last bastion, then I saw a dude arguing that he wasn't sure tuberculosis was as bad as it's made it out to be and deci…

I don't think it's unreasonable to complain about HN not having the same functionality that every other social media site has.

I answered that in my original post: "I understand that there are other options (reset password to random gibberish, run a script to delete my comments[, or, third option I'm inser…

Just told you, there's no delete button.

Some version of "these comments are a donation to the community and the idea of taking your ball and going home is anathema to what we are trying to build here" which is a long way…

I find that fascinating because I deleted a ten-year-old account attached to my Real Name because of how quickly what it showed me degraded after he purchased it. I'd say 80% of th…

According to this article, there are more former employees of Twitter suing Twitter, than there are current employees at Twitter. Seems noteworthy!

I didn't say ban, I said remove, not that I think there's much of a difference. I hope they do it too, although I expect for entirely different reasons than you do. Funny to see "R…

because they'd also need to remove the mods who made the subs private in the first place lest they just make them private again immediately and removing those mods would/could/shou…

I mean...something like 70% of subs are private at this moment. I deleted my account before the API changes were announced but it's easy to see that most of the subs I used are sti…

Due to some quirk of when and how I used the Internet, I not only never used Digg but have only really heard of it in relation to the exodus you mentioned. So, interestingly, I don…

I also came here to comment on that word choice. It's disgusting to activate a clause of a contract that both parties agreed to, when neither party seems to have a substantial powe…

No, what you said was, you think the world would be better off if 6.9B people were dead and you were one of the remaining 100M. And what I'm saying is, those two statements are not…

If I was in a room with someone who said "I think the world would be better off if everyone in this room except me were dead", I think you'd understand my nervousness around and di…

It's a 32-day-old account named after the bad guy from a Star Wars movie. I'd be suspicious of them before even reading the comment, which was fairly bonkers. As for substantive re…

They'll get replaced faster than they otherwise would have

Not to re-start a five-day old flamewar but the discussion you linked to seems pretty divided and my personal opinion is that the answer to your question seems to be "no".

I don't think HN should be trying to associate with people who go out of their way to say that they don't want to associate with HN and to a certain extent I do think that if you d…

Kinda hard to compare when some are default subs though

One thing I've been a little surprised by is the idea that, even if the API pricing was reasonable and these apps weren't shutting down, that they wouldn't be heavily and severely …

As a person who has been using reddit very regularly for about the last ten years...my bet is that Reddit Premium has few to no paid users.

I don't wanna be too cynical but I did look at the accounts of the two people in this thread who seem to find the idea plausible and found...pretty much exactly what I expected to …

I don't see how one could reasonably say a thing that has happened before and a thing that hasn't happened before are equally plausible explanations for a thing that is currently h…

I can't particularly agree in this case. I don't think /r/legaladvice is better off having a thousand incorrect, off-topic responses to a question. It was locked when I saw it firs…

The "why not" would be because in some cases the outcome is worse. I agree that ISPs should be common carriers. I disagree that social media sites should be. To me this is analogou…
