dang, doing things like this is turning HN more into reddit with heavy-handing modding, than just letting the community dictate for itself what it wants to see.

dang, doing things like this is turning HN more into reddit with heavy-handing modding, than just letting the community dictate for itself what it wants to see. The community has existed and guided itself a lot longer than the time you've been around, I think you should trust us.

- dang 10y agoI've been around since the day pg announced Startup News on his blog (though not as a moderator of course), so I doubt that's true. HN is a complex system of community, software, and moderation. We like to place the emphasis on community too, but those other things also have their places.
