Maybe they just like technology.

Is that ok though? Some would say "that's not what hn is for." I've read that a lot. Usually the follow up is something about folks being intellectually curious, not just people who "like technology." I think this comes up a lot and isn't so clear cut as many claim it to be.

Is what ok? Liking technology? Using HN? I'm not sure why we should be a gatekeeper of what someone likes or whether they hang out on this site.

The HN guidelines cover what topics are relevant to submit as new posts here, and cover civility and usefulness of comments. That seems good enough.
