I think you're confusing Hacker News for 4chan.



I wish that were the case. But I had multiple users shilling "pedophile elite" conspiracy theory at me yesterday.


If multiple users were telling you the same kinds of things on a platform that you typically expect to be reasonable, is it possible that your expectations of the platform were correct after all and they were being more reasonable than you give them credit for? Sometimes coherent theories can seem bizarre or nonsensical if you're not familiar with their core premises


> you typically expect to be reasonable

They never said that, but I have to say there's been absolute garbage takes on HN as long as I've been here. Comes with the territory, GP was just lamenting the particular genre of garbage takes they've seen lately.

> Sometimes coherent theories can seem bizarre

Yes, yes, bozo the clown and all that.


Tangential but /g/ has been leaking onto here for a couple years now.
