  | title    = Tell HN: Winners of Apply HN for YC Fellowship 3
  | text     = Last month, we decided to reserve a few spots in the next Fellowship batch (F3) for the Hacker News community to decide who they’d like to fund.

  | text     = I met the stated criteria and dominated the voting. I want my twenty grand.
Accusing me of trolling is not just dismissive, but implies I'm acting in bad faith. That's a pretty serious thing to say about someone.
