Thanks, I've been looking for a way to swipe right on your wife.

[codeTired]

Reddit is leaking.

[ranguna]

It is, but the original post itself is also pretty funny. So it fits quite nicely

[growt]

I also choose this guys wife!

[omk]

This why I love reddit. Oh wait!

[Razengan]

Please don't Reddit HN. We serious here

[khazhoux]

Thank you. I come to hacker news for serious discussions about apps that just show your spouse and you can only swipe right

[gpderetta]

We have plenty of unserious discussions on HN. We just try to avoid reddit-like memeing.

Don't forget to add /s after every joke though. This is mandatory.

HN: All of the negativity and toxicity of a Reddit discussion, without having to get disturbed by something as unproductive as smiling or a laughing!

In all seriousness, the average HN comment thread feel a lot less pleasant than the average Reddit thread. Granted, Reddit has way worse places, but comparing HN to all of Reddit is illogical - HN compares more to a single (large/active) subreddit.

I disagree strongly actually. HN'ers to me make sense, in many ways. Redditors are a crap shoot. I go in with the HN mindset on Reddit and it's 50% reasonable and 50% "what the hell am I reading?"

HN is 95% reasonable.

I understand that to some it's an acquired taste but it was home to me from the moment I discovered it.

I don't mind the Reddit-esque comments here. It's on brand for the topic. I get that when someone has a more serious disposition in life, that this topic would feel a bit grating.

> HN compares more to a single (large/active) subreddit.

Yea, agreed.

[khazhoux]

The app itself was a meme!

[gchamonlive]

Seriously though...

Wait until you see OP's next app, it's only photos of your mother and I can only swipe left.

[samrus]

This is obviously the designated fun thread

[uncircle]

Ah yes, the same comment chain memes one can find at the top of every single goddamned thread on reddit. So much fun.

[samrus]

Maybe the designated fun thread isnt a good fit for you

[mfro]

I've never seen somebody get downvoted so hard on HN I can barely read their text. Congrats.

Go into your profile settings, and enable "showdead". Very controversial comments get censored^Whidden so that's why you don't see them.

Mine's a measly -4 points for saying Reddit is terribly unfunny. I'll be fine.

[dotancohen]

As much as I agree with you (and upvoted your comment on principle), an infrequent well-placed well-timed joke can be tolerated. This was that joke.

I've certainly taken my own chances with Monty Python quotes in the HN comments.

[jamwil]

Uuuuuuuugh fine
