It’s funny how I spend so much time on HN, yet couldn’t point out a single username (that I don’t know IRL) besides dang.

This is one reason I feel an odd disconnect (anonymity?) with HN that isn’t felt on other social platforms I’ve been a part of. Those often have avatars or some other visual form of recognition that helps put a “face” to a name.

I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but I definitely think it’s intentional.

Another thing is that lacking the freedom to delete our own comments here, I assume many people treat their account as only a throwaway identity.

i revoked my HN credentials on my phone because i was arguing too much and otherwise not getting enough sleep.

When you have to get up and walk across a house to tell someone they're wrong on the internet, I try to make sure i won't have to delete it. I am contrite about a few of my off-the-cuff comments.
