You can search by:dang sneer and by:dang meta to find lots of relevant comments. As to 'it's just the letters HN', I don't see how that's a reasonable interpretation of anything I wrote.
The comments in here are weird. HN is normally an advocate for open protocols (like Mastodon, XMPP) and has been highly critical of services closing their integrations with 3rd party clients (like Reddit and Twitter).
Yet the moment it’s an Apple protocol, suddenly none of the above matters.
This is meta, it's sneery, it's an inaccurate thing to write about any threads since threads change quickly and it's not particularly meaningful since the forum is big enough to contain multitudes of conflicting viewpoints at different times. It's the stuff that gets comments deranked. If you have trouble finding exact moderation comments to that effect, you can email the mods and ask.
With the greatest of respect to yourself, and I know your comments here are well intentioned, but I think you’re the bigger rule breaker in this discussion.
You’re off topic and you’re not reading comments charitably (I was not being sneery, as I’ve said repeatedly already). If you have an issue with my comment then downvote it or flag it. That’s what you’re supposed to do as per the guidelines.
Again, I know your comments are well intentioned but I absolutely do not agree with your interpretation here. I think you’re twisting my comments unfavourably and creating meta arguments from them rather than using the peer review systems in place. Which is ironic because you’re breaking those very guidelines you’re trying to uphold.
So let’s just agree to disagree please. Because you are no more of an authority to dictate who’s right or wrong here than I am and arguing with me about those guidelines is absolutely not what you’re supposed to do as part of those guidelines.
