Did someone really downvote the creator of Redis?

All the time here in HN, I'm proud of it -- happy to have opinions not necessarily aligned with what users want to listen to. Also: never trust the establishment without thinking! ;D

IIRC there was a pre-edit version with snark.

Yes, but the downvotes came later too, I edited it with the same exact content but without the asshole that is in me. Still downvotes received.

		Delaying votes may be one of HN's anti-manipulation tactics.

I was one of the downvoters, and at the time I downvoted it, it was a very different comment. this is the original (copied from another tab that I hadn't refreshed yet):

> Tell me you don't understand Redis point is data structures without telling me you don't understand Redis point is data structures.

regardless of the author, I think slop of that sort belongs on reddit, not HN.
