I'm a little sad you're uncomfortable about being steamrolled by HN readers. I get it, it took me a long time to not get emotional about HN comments, and still I often fail, but I'd encourage you to join the conversation as much as you can. I find HN generally to be a very kind and loving community and on the whole people tend to be very thoughtful and constructive in their criticism. I have noticed over the last few…

Wholeheartedly agree. Even if someone is unkind to you, you will find a bunch of experienced users coming to your defense. Long ago, I said something out of topic/speculative on a comment and got downvoted. Then someone with 5-digit karma replied "Who is downvoting these good-faith comments?" Followed by a justification why we shouldn't. It felt good.

dang roams through all variants of HN ;)

I would actually love a fake dang. There's people using AI to make toxic comments all over social media. Why not use dang clones to politely advice toxic users and bots to be better?

This is probably the best positive application of LLMs I've heard. It will be like putting Jarvis inside Ultron's body and unleashing it into the world as Vision.

HM comments are better than no comments. it means your content is engaging enough to community

> I’ve been lurking for a while, but out of fear of being steamrolled by HN readers or maybe just natural introversion

It’s really annoying to me that you cannot hide your karma on the top in the settings.

Like, I don’t need to see the number changing constantly. Worse thing about this site IMHO. Even Reddit does not display it so prominently.

Given how easily it is to nice if you’re being “steamrolled” via downvotes, I get it. The site conditions you if you’re a maximizer of the number.

i posted the headline and first paragraph of https://www.reuters.com/technology/elon-musk-says-x-will-str... . Every response listed was a generic, negative response, like "this seems a terrible idea". I was hoping for at least one or two "people just dont understand Musk's genius / that's what mute is for" responses. So this didn't really for me capture the special "flavor" of Hacker News, which is that no matter ho…

Hard to judge without knowing why he's doing it.

I don't see a SINGLE comment in any of these examples that threadjacks to discuss CSS or font kerning. This absence breaks my suspension of disbelief entirely . Something to work on for future iterations.

Or a comment suggesting to rewrite it in Rust.

Seemed to be on topic for my project https://www.fakehn.com/submission?id=efLkVt2if5czNdN38wAY

That redirects to empty path URL

I think the part of the service that was pulling up previous submissions is broken.
