Sometimes you think you’ve been accused of everything you could be accused of. Wonders never cease!

The guidelines have been constant (with minor updates) for most of the two decades HN has existed. Dan’s a moderator for 14 years and I’ve been one for several. Both of us have been active participants almost since the beginning. When did the ruination begin?

Your comment seems a generic vent, largely unrelated to the parent comment but if you have any actionable suggestions you’re welcome to email us.

TBH I come to HN to understand US silicon valley mindset. difficult to get a more distilled version of that in other places.
