> Omit internet tropes.

Indeed. Eschew humor. Avoid anything not super serious. Laughs aren't allowed on HN.

There's a difference between humor and pattern-matching memes like you see in Reddit threads.

I laughed, that's good enough for me. I don't care for snobbiness.

I don't know what you want here.

The grandparent comment quoted the site's rules. I provided my opinion what is humor vs internet tropes.

I want people who aren't snobbish and rule-lawyering. This isn't middle school we don't need hall monitors.

[shepherdjerred → HeatrayEnjoyer]

Reminding others of community norms isn't snobbish or unreasonable. How else do you expect a community to function as it grows?

So doubling down is your strategy? This isn't a debate, your attitude isn't being entertained here.
