We took "Show HN" out of the title. That's for when you're introducing a project, not adding new features. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.
Oops sorry! Didn't realize that.
Interesting. My Mr. Rogers result is reassuring I suppose. I like my most insulting comment:
"Very useful. Can you add links to amazon/hulu/torrents?"
Sounds like someone tried to build a sarcasm detector.*
*Will this be my new most insulting comment?

Yes, my worst comment surprised me:
"That sounds like a good approach; reimplementing an existing API like EC2 or DO makes it easier to integrate your software with tools like Vagrant and Terraform."
Maybe the words "reimplementing" or "existing" triggered it? For you, maybe it was "torrents"?

It might be assuming Vagrant in the "homeless person" sense?
From other comments it looks like terse sentences, intensifiers and popular brand names are factors, which would explain that comment.
Cool, but it doesn't take retweets, @replies, and quoted replies into account. My worst comments over on Reddit are where I quote someone else who said something mean, and the same goes for Twitter.
And the results for HN are truly head-scratching. Use of the word "fucking" regardless of context is apparently enough to elevate a comment to "worst" status. (Watch me get a few points just for this comment alone!)
Don't get me wrong, this is a neat tool, but it's going to be misused in character assassinations on others, especially with its current presentation, where phrases are used like "troll score", "most insulting" and so on.
I'd really suggest toning that presentation down and emphasizing the fact that this is imperfect until the algorithm has been tweaked further.

My worst comment on Reddit :
"Are you stupid?"
Sounds about right. Edit : Damn now I'm worrying this will become my worst HN comment too.
Double Edit : Just ran it again and now it's my worst comment on HN.

Apparently, I'm not a real person ... :(
This seems to be the default error message that's shown when the queue's too full to analyse a user. Which is probably not a great thing when the site's busy being upvoted on HN.
Now I'm tempted to Yelp that sucker and become the most hated person ever on one of the services.
Basically, get them to change the subject of Godwin's Law.

Concept is nice, landing page and the website are nice. What needs more work is the algorithm for determining hate. Almost all the comments that Hater News chewed out of my Reddit username were not at all* trolling. Indeed some statements were even contributing to the discussion.
Interesting. However, my most insulting comment doesn't appear to be that insulting: (it's not like I've been very active on HN)
"Either your CPU is too fast or too slow. I can't really fix anything since I don't have a Mac to test with. It works fine on Windows."
"Either your CPU is too fast or too slow. I can't really fix anything since I don't have a Mac to test with. It works fine on Windows."
Seems as though it's a recursive troll attempt.
Me on Reddit: "The first step is to stop hating yourself, you are your foundation for your own success..."
Clear troll comment. I've said much, much, worse on Reddit.

Broken for network = HackerNews. All usernames including the suggested one and my own return the "Hmm That's probably not a real username." etc.
And then some random youtube video plays in the background. And there's a "Still crunching numbers" animation (when I modify the css on the page to hide the overlay).
And then "Something broke, sorry :(" and then back to home.
Whoops! Sorry about that... It is fixed now, thanks for the heads up. :) I just ran your name and it's now working.
IPython Notebook is here: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/kevinmcalear/hater_news/b... (to author: maybe this link instead of link to its source? accessibility...).
Thanks I'll update the README :)

Only Twitter worked for me, but it was kind of cool to read some long forgotten tweets.
I don't really understand the periodic table concept. My first thought was that it grouped your insults into types, like logical fallacies versus outright insults. I feel like that would be more useful for introspection.

a lot of the links to reddit comments are broken, if the title of the page in reddit has a slash in it, the slash is not being ommited/escaped in the URL and so reddit can't find it.
Sample: http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/6dnve/Top%20Comedi... is broken because it has a slash in the title (9/11)
Killing that slash fixes it: http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/6dnve/Top%20Comedi...

Thanks! I'll fix this ASAP.
My worst comment on reddit is insulting a Canadian for not liking hockey and insinuating that they don't have an appreciation for maple syrup.
I'm interested in how it manages to calculate this, because I'm a complete asshole on reddit sometimes.

Apparently, this is a negative comment:
"What do you with a bunch of books and an empty pod? A racing track of course! http://bit.ly/1wThvTK "
-pmelendezu "
My worst HN comment was "Freaking Hilarious. You made my day, sir."
I guess I'm back in Catholic grade school where "freak" was a strong word.

My worst comment: "Yep, working less than 30 hrs really gives you a chance to live life. I take less pay and only have to work a half week."
Pretty much all of my "hater" comments were like this. Many were helpful answers to problem.

He is probably just making a corpus of negative words, where "less" and "only" probably have negative connotations. This is the problem with this kind of analysis, extracting it properly from context is really hard
My worst tweet is insulting myself. (To be fair I rarely use twitter anyway).
I wonder if self insults are weighted any different than regular ones.
"I feel dumb for never thinking of using %2π"
"I feel dumb for never thinking of using %2π"
I find the algorithm very funny because this tweet:
>Spike Lee produced a Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer, and Steve Harvey comedy special?
Was apparently one of my worst.
>Spike Lee produced a Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer, and Steve Harvey comedy special?

My worst one was a quotation: "Every moron can pick up CSS and PHP; apparently, every moron did pick them up."
It just means that you don't have insulting comments that it can find. Hover over titles with asterisks to better understand the context of your score and worst comment when you get your score, it just finds the "worst" one out of the bunch and if you don't have a bad comment then it just brings back something like that lol. :)
For me it was:
> You're a shit comment.
On reddit. So that at least seems accurate!

My worst one was "You can buy them" with URLs to a couple of posters (the sort you put on your wall).
I'm not sure how my tweet of "Nothing encourages you to finally fix your backups like a kernel panic during a OS update."
qualifies as hate?

This has now become your most hateful comment..
"didn't your teacher question why you were using a calculator for english class?" I'm naughty on Reddit :D
My theoretically worst recent tweet:
Someone on this bus has lost "Don't Shit Your Pants".

The Worst Comment*
"How many languages you know - that many times you are a human."
"How many languages you know - that many times you are a human."
One of mine was (truncated) "What an amazing fucking museum! ... Fat man and Little Boy earrings" which was in reference to the Atomic Bomb Museum in Las Vegas.
I guess I hit the key words of calling something "fat," and dropping the f-bomb.
The "troll rate" across all my accounts is 3.X.. which is interesting. Because I'm definitely a little more.. "lively" on some accounts than others (for instance HN compared to Reddit). I would have expected one to be much higher than the other.
