"to clarify" being roughly analogous to "before y'all see what I've written and rush to hit the 'make the wrongthink gray' button before you understand what I've said".

Nobody ever got rewarded for trash-talking the platform they were talking on. It's kind of funny to see all throughout these comments people are taking great pains to exempt HN from criticism when pretty much every social media site has these problems and it's a matter of degrees.

It was because I was primarily thinking about reddit when I was posting and only after posting did I consider that someone might think I meant on this site. So I decided to immediately edit to clarify any potential confusion, as I do honestly find this place to have one of the best chances of 'good faith' discussions happening.

That isn't to say discussions here are perfect. Sometimes I do find people will stereotype or strawman my argument, but I find it happens less here than in any other site and to enough of an extent I don't find it influencing my discussions.
