Jokes and other forms of amusement are banned on HN. It's been found that people here take things way too seriously, so the mods decided to ban jokes and humor outright.
You know, I've had my share of rants, etc. on HN but revisiting Reddit has made me appreciate the HN policies more.
I generally avoid Reddit these days, except occasionally dipping into the VR sub-reddits. The level of stupidity, entitlement, and general melodrama is ludicrous.
It's like when you're subjected to the nonsense of a person who's become accustomed to being the smartest person in a dumb room.
HN is just a smarter room. Like Reddit 10 years ago. We should defend that.
