Re: The Saltiest Users on HN
#2The first list is mostly people who I don't recognize, and assume are uncommon posters, where one or two bad comments put them on the "saltiest" list.
The other two top lists are more interesting, because while there is a lot of salty people in there I recognize, a bunch of people make the list solely based on total prolific amount of comments. tptacek, of course, as well as literally all of the HN moderators.
Apparently in terms of the raw number of salty comments, I rank 217.

The top guy is someone who's shadowbanned, I see him often.
Also heartwarming to see Terry Davis there, haha.

Yeah, does pg_is_a_butt@ not realize that most people cannot see his posts? You'd think he would figure it out after a while as nobody is replying to him.

He probably knows and is content by having his posts read only by those who've opted in to do so.

I would worry about my methodology if I saw dang, who basically only ever weighs in to politely tell people to be less salty, in the #2 spot on my "Total Salt Score" list.

Yeah, I noticed that trying to use the back button sets you back to the front page, not the actual last user you looked at. Similarly, modifying the URL to hackersalt.com/usernametolookfor doesn't actually work, despite being what appears when you get a search result.

#10I hope it's not based on the contents of the quoted posts alone.
> This was explored (all the way to its grim dystopian conclusion) in tv series Dollhouse. Might want to check it out.
That doesn't seem very salty to me, and I could see myself writing that same comment.
