Do they? Or is it just some minority of shit stirrers? Or is it that HN is more likely to have people that can healthily laugh at themselves - a la Monty Python? I mean you can love HN and n-gate.com at the same time right?
Back on topic: The very public “we quit” message seems like a very clear message to try and effect change for a cause they deeply care about.
I presume the mod team had multiple other options on how to deal with the core issue. For example, they could have internally suggested a quiet rollover to a new mod team over a few months. Say modelled on how CEO leadership is changed, avoiding public drama, when a CEO is rolled by their board.
Deciding on a very public option just causes all the drama to play out with every Internet and Hackernews (including me) adding their own spit into the mix.
Yeah, they definitely do, or at least virtually everyone I know feels that HN is a place mostly to go to laugh at the terrible opinions or, much less frequently, a good comment.
