Humour is wasted on Hacker News.

It's official: hacker news has no sense of humor

I view this as proof no one on Hacker News has a sense of humor.

Getting downvoted. The lack of humor in Hacker News is astonishing.

And here I thought my jokes were wasted on hacker news. :)

Hacker News can't take a joke, can it?

(nbpoole, I think Reddit-like humour is wasted here on HackerNews.)

Enjoy Hacker News, thought i could contribute a little humor, i not good for much else.

Yeah, Hacker News is starting to become as allergic to nuance as it is to humor.

I got downvoted. Humor is bad on Hacker News.

I guess Hacker News community doesn't like jokes.

I believe HackerNews lost its humor these days.

Wit, sarcasm, and hacker news don't mix well. :(

funny, yes. relevant to hacker news? no. save it for your friends elsewhere please.

Hacker News doesn't like mild-hearted jokes, apparently. Lesson learnt.

Hacker News readers are very serious people. No humor allowed.

Unfortunately, it seems either my own joke was insufficiently witty or Hacker News is even more humorless than depicted by the memes of it.

Oh well.


Agreed. Hacker News is not Reddit. A joke is fine, but rather predictably, it has turned into a subtree with just jokes/puns.

I'm actually more surprised to see the hacker news crowd actually has a sense of humor. Where has that been hiding for all these years?
