> Don't worry Zuck, people will forget this movie just as fast as they forgot to delete their facebook account.

Is this sentence ironic? Care to paraphrase it? Thanks.




So I've got 5 down-votes so far for not having grasped a sentence because I'm not a native speaker, right? HN has become a very friendly place, hasn't it?

However, I've investigated further the issue and, as far as I understand, many people forgot to delete their Facebook account, thus the sentence means: the movie will not be forgotten. Am I correct? Thanks.


Yes, HN can be pretty harsh. I've been here since the beginning and lately I'm coming here less and less :-(

The previous comment was ironic (kind of. He's mentioning a movie (film) they are releasing now based on Zuckerberg's college days and apparently it's pretty negative towards him. "People forgot to delete their FB accounts" is making fun of the people that criticize FB but don't still use it.


Thank you for your kind words and explanation. Are you preferring some other sites over HN? Could you please tell us more?
