Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Comment removed for being weird (derogatory). I refrained just barely from hitting the "ban from community" button on the slim chance it was a badly misfired joke from a person who can otherwise behave themself, but I won't object if any other mod goes ahead with the banhammer.

I wish i knew that this guy said. Literally woke up to a bunch of replies saying "removed"

it was some shitty follow-up to your joke so unfunny it made your post less funny just by being under it. pull this thread from mastodon and chances are you’ll see it if you really want to

anyway if you want a laugh, they threw a tantrum and reported your post because we deleted theirs:

their joke was in that exact tone too because they’re a comedy black hole

Thank you for this. I think I understand completely <3

I was vacillating on reply harshness, but "hey tell me when you're home" ... some people just need to get better with informed consent.

(agree that this probably wasn't banworthy (yet), but close)
