It's down. No need for the anti JavaScript task force here.

I think it's time to stop with the "task force" business. It's a form of name-calling that implies that commenters holding an opinion are strictly ideologically motivated, and it isn't part of a fair and civil discussion. There are always less dismissive ways of engaging on the topic.

I remember at some point on HN those sorts of comments were reasonably well-voted, and now they litter the bottom of any thread they appear in. I wonder when that changed.

In the context of aggregators such as HN/reddit, complaining about the design of the articles' sites is a form of bikeshedding.

Pardon the snark, but: it's no longer 2010. Javascript isn't an option anymore.

I don't like this either, and I personally run a javascript blocker (which makes the internet much more enjoyable, imho), but I absolutely recognize that this is not the optimal way to view the internet. I also use react on all of my frontends.

> A reader emailed to complain about how this and other HN discussions often become derailed by off-topic carping about blog design. I agree completely. Could there be a more classic form of bikeshedding? It would seem parodic if it weren't sadly real. This has become more of a thing on HN lately. It needs to become less of a thing.

> I don't mean to pick on you personally, or just on this one comment. (Your second sentence alone, by the way, would have been a helpful contribution.) The problem is the tedious stampedes such comments spawn.

Yet another example of the mods contributing to the downfall of HN. I strenuously disagree with dang here (as a cursory look at my own comment history will indicate).

The ongoing destruction of the Web is something which all of us, particularly the start-up community, should fight.
