Show HN: Hacker Who’s? – Replace HN usernames with question marks

1 pointsby evancoopalmost 3 years ago
Hey HN! Anonymity can really shape how people interact with each other, and HN is no exception. After reading PG’s mention of changing some users colors to orange, and the decision to revert back ( <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paulgraham.com&#x2F;hackernews.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paulgraham.com&#x2F;hackernews.html</a> ) , we thought it’d be great to take that to the next level. “Hacker Who’s?” replaces HN usernames with question marks.<p>This is one of a collection of HN mods that we’ve been working on, and I’ve found this one to have a decent amount of lasting value.
