The best way to use HN is to not give even the tiniest shit about what people say or do or if your posts get flagged or ignored. If you're going to post something, just post it and never look back. Resist the urge to care whether anybody actually reads your thing or responds. Just read or post or comment, don't interact, don't expect others to either. If you lower your expectations appropriately you will never be disappointed.
