undefined | Better HN

im okay with those but what i dislike is how some people are so jaded that they spam downvotes on all your comments.

basically I'm learning there's no algorithm protection against this so I guess I'm not going to play nice either anymore.

It's time to dust off all the aged HN accounts I've accumulated over the past few years and it's open season now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm openly declaring my intent to abuse the downvote feature with multiple nicks if Dang isn't going to fix it. The algorithm clearly isn't working to protect against it so I will keep going until they fix it.

If you have an issue with a specific user, take it up with dang. Ultimately, it's not "the algorithm" that makes HN what it is, but the people. Software can enforce minimal rules, but it takes more than that to make a community.
