Counterexamples: 1) Every Bitcoin thread 2) Every NSA/Snowden thread Source (cough): I've been around for 6.3 years, am in the top 40 users in terms of net karma, and am actually very frustrated with the unfortunate turn the community has taken in the past 12-18 months. And am considering leaving, which makes me sad.
Maybe they need to turn down the account-ghosting requirements a few notches?

I see you've only been here for 33 days so I'll lend you a hand. This is HN, and we don't make posts like that.

I think it would be sad if you left.

I'm not actually familiar with that one. Clue me in?
All I was saying is perhaps if pg et all decreased whatever threshold they have set for account ghosting, that we may see less of these pointless comments in the future.

Not sure what either of those two topics has to do with this thread..
That said, I'm pretty sure my highest karma (~50) comment was a joke about Tau Day back in 2008. Soooooooo.
Why is Telegram in the HNews so much? Are they part of the YC fraternity? Why do pay so much attention to crypto hucksters? It hasn't been so long since the last snake oil peddlers had their roasting -- I forget the name, it was some cutesy web-browser "secure" chat thing. It's cool to report debunkings, but if it weren't for HN, I (and most others?) never would have even seen these products in the first place.

That behavior certainly doesn't add anything to the site.

Are you suffering from testosterone poisoning or something?
Why would you post such an inane one-liner like that? Jimmytucson made a very good point, which is that the very intelligent Telegram authors tried really hard to make a solid product, made a huge gamble that didn't quite pay off like they wanted, and that all we see now are the smug, told-you-so vultures swooping in to pat themselves on the back for being oh so much smarter than the stupid crypto guys.
What you have here is homeopathy.
