You have time to decide what to bump, but not to decide what you like? Makes no sense.

- scarface74 7y agoI’ve upvoted opinion pieces that I disagree with, but I wanted to see what the community thought.
- moorhosj 7y agoThey explicitly said they bump what they think the community might like. It doesn’t take a thorough reading of every submission to make that guess.
- hammock 7y agoIt does, unless you want to create an echo chamber (which HN somewhat is)
- dang 7y agoWhat would make HN less of an echo chamber?
- hammock 7y agoI don't think it can be solved by moderation, if that makes you feel better
- moorhosj 7y agoDo you have any answer to the question?
- dang 7y agoIt makes me feel worse. But I'd like to hear why you say that HN somewhat is an echo chamber, and what you think would make it less of one, or where you might look for examples of non-echo-chambers on the internet. You're welcome to reply here, or email hn@ycombinator.com. It's possible that you've observed something that's not on our radar, and such information is important for us to be aware of, even if we can't solve it by moderation.
- untilHellbanned 7y agoIm aware. I’m skeptical of what Dang said that it should take more time to decide what they like.
