18yrs here and fully agree, but it's against the rules to discuss it :)

> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit.

also has these rules though which is a nice reminder

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

> Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
