Seriously what has happened to HN? This is ridiculous? are these genuine posts or some attack by bad actors to destroy a community.

Go back to reddit to post your anti progress stuff. HN was supposed to be about tech and startups and improving the world.

It's basically unbearable at this point. Every single thread is full of this stuff. It's incredibly sad.

your response doesn't help you make your case. instead of complaining and namecalling the commenter, how about engaging with the comment as the others are doing. if you don't want this place to turn into reddit, then you should not act like you are on reddit.

the mark of a good discussion is that you can respond to a contrary opinion without getting triggered by it.

you seem to have decided that this is progress, but others are clearly not convinced. for myself i don't know if this is the progress we need. but then i believe that the most important progress we need to make is to be more civil to each other and work towards social unity, so that we can discuss technical progress without constantly getting angry at each other, because that, in the end is the biggest obstacle to any progress.

so instead of being part of the problem and making things worse by complaining, try being a part of the solution and engage with the commenters in an earnest but well meaning manner. disagree, ask them to substantiate their claim, or provide counter evidence, but don't derail the discussion with a futile rant.
