Hey! You are right about newbies ignoring what the HN was initially created for. I agree, my bad but to my excuse 3 outher submittions I made were pretty much according to the HN standards I believe.

Thanks for such a thought thorugh reply, the point about comments exactly something I wanted to hear.

I agree, HN much more feels like a silent resource of knowledge and knowledgable point of views. WHen reading FB I rarely even open comments myself.

And I agree there are way to many goody-positive as you said sites with pure flood instead of highly valueable on average posts.

Thanks again for your reply. I value your time a lot.

I like to say FB comments are for grandma to tell grandkid how cute they looked in that tie at the pre-Covid family reunion. I haven't logged in for a decade, so I don't even know what people do on FB now that you can't really take pictures of your restaurant entrée every day anymore.

> pure flood

Very good term for it.

I even like it when people disagree here, since they typically back it up with reason. It's not a stoic site - it's just not flippant either.

There should be a web forum Kinsey Scale for that.

Disagreeing is cleraly valuable for some but rather hard to accept for “FB commenter” types.

Thanks again for your time!
