Thank you! Good critique, we just took for granted that the average HN user knows what Tinder is. We're basically trying to figure out how to replicate real world interaction between members belonging to different communities, but online. How we're doing it, well, we're still experimenting. :-)

If the average HN reader knows what Tinder is, that could mean that 51% know and 49% don't know. Never ignore the 49%. :-)
Definitely agree about the "YOU THINK THAT'S A BAD IDEA" language. Besides being negative, it puts words in people's mouths, which is very off-putting.
Your project sounds neat, though. Best of luck with it!
I may be an average HN reader, but I only vaguely know what Tinder is, and how it works. Don't rely on my own half-baked idea of what another app is to make me understand your own - straight up tell me first. Good luck!
