Right, this reminds me of the threads around here on teleworking vs working in-office.
Once someone points out that they like going to the office because they get to socialize with co-workers, the replies typically sound like ‘don’t care, I’m not paid to socialize but to do my job’
While I understand the context can vary, it always struck me as an anti-social behavior.
It's also a very Hacker News attitude, as you are witnessing in this thread.
I don't understand why people HN talk down about Reddit so much when it's really no better here, either.
