IMHO, the biggest concern is HN going the reddit way. So here's a stab at trying to fix that:
- If we can get the list of the top 10-50 hostnames (xkcd, etc) posted on reddit, and deny publication of those hostnames on HN, the signal to noise ratio should go up (how much I don't know?)
- Obviously, some good posts would be missed, but it's alright to have a few false positives, since this is a website of aggregated news and not email
What do the folks here think?
- dcurtis 19y agoI don't usually come to News.YC for the links, I come for the comments on the articles. Your idea would prevent News.YC comments on popular articles, so I disagree.
- prakash 19y agoThat's a good point. In which case, how about NOT awarding karma for posting links for those hostnames, and award karma for the comments. what do you think?
- jauco 19y agoinstead of/besides a fixed top 10 sites, I would add any site that has been on techmeme. If it's been on techmeme everybody here has probably heard of it already.
