I know both you guys haven't been on HN for that long, but the downvote is not meant to be a dislike button. That is the antithesis of HN's norms around discourse:

▲

victorbjorklund 4 hours ago | parent [-]

It is a joke.

▲

alephnerd 3 hours ago | parent [-]

This isn't Reddit.

	▲	emdash 3 hours ago \| parent \| next [-]
		I'm almost certain people tell jokes even outside of Reddit
	▲	victorbjorklund 3 hours ago \| parent \| prev [-]
		You get that there isn’t even a downvote button for submissions right? Jesus
