Couldn’t you send this sort of message privately? The post gained a number of replies and the sentiment that “web3 is trash” is about as commmon today as “McKinsey is trash.” I would advocate HN send warnings in private as, respectfully, public warnings look like flamebait IMO to me.

It's vital that such messages be public. Their most important function is to signal to the community what sorts of comments are/aren't ok here, and indeed that the site is moderated at all.

Those are both low-value, ad hominem attacks that don't substantively engage with content, and they are both comments that erode the quality of discussion in our community.

Hacker News does not have a "private message" feature, so there is no way to communicate other than publicly.
