Yes. That’s not what I want to read on hn. You can go to Reddit or many other places for that and fill yourself with anger all you want. I personally do not want that for me and if hn continues the way it’s headed then I’ll block it like I did Reddit.
LinkedIn still caters to people who want more pro-corporate propaganda. Can check it out.
Discussions are just discussions. You can always opt out not participate. HN's guidelines make discussions here are a lot more civil than reddit.
There’s a difference between on-topic discussions relevant to the post and “discussions” that veer off into the same emotional tribal rants that we see constantly now. We try to ignore it but the constant negativity and “us vs them” is not healthy, let alone meaningful discussion.
