> I think it's kind of hilarious that the users of HN are outraged that FB and Instagram are even a thing, while simultaneously outraged that they're taking steps to close potential leaks of the personal information of their users.

Yeah, it's almost as if HN was a plurality of diverse individuals with different needs and opinions and not a single entity with a single opinion on everything. Who would have thought?

Look, this is a cute response and all, but downvotes and upvotes expose the posts that the "group" (in this case, the larger HN community) tend to believe in the most. If 2 posts rise to the top, it suggests to me that there's an overlap in people that are upvoting those 2 posts.

One might assume that not every user of HN has the same beliefs and motivations as the others.

I think HN users are outraged at everything.
