I respectfully ask you to not post jokes and memes on HN. This isn’t reddit.

I respectfully disagree with this sentiment. Light-hearted jokes should be welcomed. A joke adds humor to the discussion for some, and that is a valuable contribution. As valuable as technical, political or sociological insight in many cases.

Hacker News experiences nowhere near a volume of spammy meme sharing that would merit rebuking joke comments, enforcing a policy discouraging them, or even downvoting them out of view.

Long time HN guy. I agree. But the post title generated it.

What does that matter? It's still the internet...
