Comment on The Open Source Identity Crisis

Comments

The HN software originally killed this article because the submitting account had been flagged for posting HN-inappropriate articles in the past (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7847688 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6535840).

This had nothing to do either with the present post or with the site, which is not banned: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=modelviewculture#!/story/sort_by_d....

Very sorry if I've broken any HN rules. I didn't know those posts weren't HN-appropriate (or even that I had been flagged!).

I don't mind being called out when I'm out of order, because I see it as an opportunity to become a better community citizen. But it's hard to become a better community citizen without some corrective advice.

Would you please point me to the code of conduct (and ideally to the specific rules I've broken), so I can be better in the future?

I would consider memes, jokes, and funny stories to generally fit in the realm of "off topic".
