> make HN cute again

Can we stop using “make X Y again”? The phrase it references is a racist dogwhistle. Let’s not normalize it.

I thought about this and wound up changing the wording, the changes should be live with the next update within the next hour

Thanks, implying that HN had lost its cuteness was also extremely rude

[zanedb]

I think it's more intended in a mocking manner.

[dukeflukem]

Pardon my ignorance, but what's racist?

[cypherpunks01]

They're referring to the POTUS campaign slogan, which isn't overtly racist but can be interpreted in such a way depending on your read of the message.

[dukeflukem]

Oh that is quite a generalisation!

The Bad Guys used it in a slogan! Therefore we all must roll onto our backs into obedience position whenever we hear it now! Surely the bad guys will lose if we do this gesture for them?
