I appreciate the repost. It's quite timely for me, because I had recently been reading and participating in a post about HN's apparent toxicity. This has helped me to gain some more perspective on the topic. Especially about how moderation is done. I'm really impressed by the moderators, I honestly had no idea how many people were moderating HN or how they did things. I admire the patience and care it sounds like they put into the community.

I missed it, thanks for the heads-up.

I love you, Hacker News, but you’re toxic

HN is actually quite a lot less toxic than it was a few years ago. I'm not sure why, but I think the extremely cynical/100% rude communication style people just left for some reason.

Even Mr. management-by-perkele Linus has lightened up these days.

Don't know what they're all doing now, I would've said crypto but whenever I meet those people they're unreasonably positive.
