So thoughtless bashing is fine, as long as no attempt at humor is made?


The only forum I browse is HN. I gets high out of the quality of the conversation here. I think dang is requesting is to avoid redditesque humor. I don’t think we need ‘pulling out’ jokes, especially hinting at Elon’s personal life to make the conversations livelier. We can do better for sure.


I agree wholeheartedly. I have asked many to stop parroting reddit style "humor" myself to obviously little affect.

My point is that thoughtless Elon bashing is even more brain-dead and cancerous to genuine discussion then the cringey reddit-like tropes that he has an apparent issue with.


Thoughtless bashing is not fine. Some attempts at humor are fine and some are not fine.
