You're still making the mistake of extrapolating the entire community's nature from a small sample of comments and votes. It's a common reaction when we feel like our own opinions are being attacked or undervalued but it means we fail to appreciate and value the side that is worthy of our support and appreciation, and we fail to take responsibility for the role we all have in making the site better. Comments lamenting how much better HN "used to" be have been a constant from not long after it began: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22hn%20used%20to%22&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=0&dateRange=all&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22hn%20used%20to%22&sort=byPo... Please, if you want HN to be good, be the change you wish to see!
