One of the reasons I love Hacker News is because of the high quality of content and discussion. Looking like HN is nice but the fact that your top post includes a nice little "(((bankers)))" remark from /u/BigNuts881 was a rough reminder that this isn't to be a much better than just looking through the results of a broad Twitter search.
- petercooper 9y agoThat is a good part of Hacker News, but I'd suspect if it's like any other community site maybe 10% of people bother reading comments and 1% bother to make them. There's plenty of room catering for the 90% who just want the links Drudge-style, and kicking off a community that actually has discussions is super hard work.
- optimuspaul 9y agothat's funny because I read the comments on far more posts that I actually follow the links to.
- bringtheaction 9y agoMe too. I thought most people on HN came here for the discussion -- even if that means primarily reading comments and not necessarily speaking up.
