Ask HN: More negative karma for me please?

1 points by fuxx0r ↗ HN
I read HN since many years now, but at a point some months ago, the audience seams to be changing.

1 year ago, the most stuff posted here, was interesting in many ways and gave me the feeling that a small corner of the internet is still interested in the technics or people behind.

Today the news titles like, "Oh damn, iam so unmotivated and i dont know what to do" or "Hey... i made another .js thing which is useless". I dont feel familiar with the small hacker base here anymore. If anyone cant write well english, like me, he got tons of negative karma. If you forgot to read a small sentence in a article and you make a comment which covers exactly that 3 words, you got tons of negative karma... i mean... sorry, its like a forum with 14yo kiddy's.

Yesterday a guy posted a link to a Git GUI for OSX and i just asked for a upcoming PPC port and i got a simple answer. Some hours later some people gave me negative karma for that. Hello?

Quantity does not mean quality and i think that happens at moment for HN too. Too many users with to big egos. Its seams that every bigger site got these kind of mentality after a while. Everyone cares only about himself, not about a idea/people/technics anymore. If you can troll or be normals as possible, you will be. The individual spirit goes away in the masses.

Today i just read at maximum one article per day here. Iam sick of all the posts which are nearly the same. Every day the same flaming over the problems instead of resolving them and post the way you did it.

I hope i will get my tons of negative karma now, because i dont feel that people will think about.

Thank you for reading my whining post. I will hate myself for that later and iam sorry for bringing a post, which is exactly that, what i hate on HN ;)
