Is it just me, or is the feel of the comment on this post different than other HN posts? There are a lot more snarky jokes. A little more combative. It feels like why I stopped reading Reddit. I hope it doesn’t metastasize to posts on other topics.

maybe it has something to do with the confidence of the posting: "no prob, I built the next best thing". Might come off as arrogant and that probably triggers people.

Maybe these are /r/wallstreetbets folks flocking in? On a more serious note: I think the topic of stocks and getting rich real quick might generate that kind of feel, on any platform. Probably borderline for HN to have these discussions?

It's more the people who pay for the bloomberg terminal who can't handle the headline. The opposite crowd of /r/wallstreetbets.

No, half the sarcasm is at the expense of Bloomberg.

This is the people "sticking it to the hedge funds" pouring in.

> This has that too, it's called "reddit" If you receive a Bloomberg message from someone, it's something actionable. That's not true, in finance, of virtually any other electronic communication channel.

Can you give some examples? Do you mean it's highly trustworthy?

>communicating under their real name and job title.

I never got spammed once on my terminal.

Not once.

9 times out of 10 someone says this, they're taking one tiny interaction and making a huge stretch.

But this post definitely has a very bizarre comment section compared to most.

And not just any one comment, but almost every thread. Maybe it has to do with the "Gamestonks" moniker and what it entails

Hacker News has always been reddit. All these comments are just people seeing through the matrix.

Hacker News is Reddit with a thesaurus. This is only an insult to Hacker News if you think Reddit is bad, but they clearly share the same dynamic brought on by the perverse incentives of the "karma" system and individually threaded comments. Classic discussion forum interfaces (e.g. vBulletin or phpBB) allow for much richer and calmer communication.
