News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

no it isn't, that's exactly the concern the initiator of this thread of conversation had.

It doesn't matter if it's reasonable or not as long as it isn't ultimately harmful to the person.

If you dox someone or follow them around for a length of time attacking them, you should be banned for it as it creates a hostile environment.

But that is a far cry from telling someone in no uncertain terms that you think their opinion is ridiculous.

Personally, I've been wanting a reddit alternative for a while, but everything out there sucks in some manner (don't get me started on hubski...). I would love for this to push enough people onto the other platforms for the content to be there. I doubt it will, but that doesn't stop me from wishing it would happen.

Try http://voat.co/. It is very small right now, but growing.

That's your opinion on it. Reddit, it would appear, has a different opinion. As, I believe, would the admins of Hacker News.
